Rapid Growth of Ruby on Rails Creates Huge Training Gap; Learning Rails Podcast Helps Bring Web Designers and Developers Up to Speed

Sebastopol, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- In the past three years, Ruby on Rails has come from nowhere to achieve a leadership position among web application platforms. Ruby on Rails has become the preferred platform for new web applications because developers can create sophisticated sites quickly.

The soaring popularity of Ruby on Rails has left most web designers and developers a generation behind. "Rails delivers a great productivity boost once a developer is up-to-speed, but the leap to Rails from technologies such as PHP can be difficult," commented Michael Slater, president of Collective Knowledge Works, Inc.

Learning Rails (http://www.LearningRails.com) is the first podcast that helps web designers and developers learn Ruby on Rails. With the conceptual foundation this series provides, developers with only a minimum of programming experience can quickly and effectively begin building Rails sites. Learning Rails starts at the beginning and explains how Ruby works, how Rails applications are built, and how to develop your skills using it.

Learning Rails was created by Michael Slater and Christopher Haupt of Collective Knowledge Works, Inc., a web technology development and training company.

Michael Slater and Christopher Haupt are available to discuss anything related to Ruby on Rails and web application development at (888) 670-6793 ext. 2.

Web Design And Navigation.
As people "browse" the Web, they "land" on a page and "navigate" on a website. To find their way around they need a "navigation" system. Navigation is as important for web design as for a real life drive: when you drive on a new road you want to see clear marked destinations, exits and parking lots. You want to know where you are and where you go. So do your visitors. Fail to provide a clear road map and they will go back to where they came from. Navigation should be clear and simple. Or better: standard. That means: don't go around renaming buttons. Use "home" for your index; not "back to base". Although this "back to base" is rather clear, not all the web users are in the mood for riddles, nor do they have the time to start learning ...
