You should stop reading those rubbish tutorials you got and buy a decent book, like, for instance: "Ruby on Rails for gin-diluted brains".

I've never heard of that brand of gin before, is it good?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well, speaking for the six weeks, imagine you were new to:
C#
.NET framework
Entity Framework
and then, if you had never done any web development, imagine you were also new to:
ASP.NET
JavaScript / CoffeeScript
CSS, SASS
jQuery
JSON
Routes (Rails)
etc.etc.etc.
and then, if you'd not done a lot of database stuff before:
Database Theory / Normalization
Tables
Foreign Keys
Primary Keys
Database migrations (a cool Rails feature)
And then, if you were a real newbie:
Model-View-Controller architecture
And then, learning RoR specific stuff:
gems
bundles
testing (cucumber, rspec, capybara, etc)
yml files
how routes really work
the nuances of their EF equivalent
the grossness (and resulting practices) of duck-typed languages
everybody's custom DSL to do even the most trivial things
gems, gems, gems, which gem should I use?
etc...
So, where in this map do you fit? It took me a year to get moderately comfortable with RoR (and that coming from knowing everything on the above list except for web development and of course RoR itself), and I still have hardly scraped the surface on the JavaScript side of things and the browser DOM.

Well I reckon I can already hack some code 
Seriously, my excursions into web are limited, but the rest I am more than happy with my expertise. I am really just trying to get going with RoR and that is my bugbear. Once I can get going, I can start hacking my way around to find the comfortable ways to do things. It'll give me an idea of what to search for rather than random word lists until I get there [why do the lists always include the word boobs?]. It is just bloody well getting going.
- create models, views and controller
- link the components together
No clever javascript or such like. Just simple plain vanilla HTML. 'Kin simple I thinks. Danged hard I finds.

Yeah, automagic typing is wonderful until it blows up in your face. My most recent extended session of time wastage was from trying to pass a boolean back to the server and having it fail to work because ruby wasn't smart enough to realize that it needed to cast the string it parsed out of the url to a boolean and was evaluating as if "true" == true or if "false" == true and always picking the same branch of the if statement. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Since 3 days now Facebook is not working anymore on my Windows Phone 8 based device (Nokia Lumia 720). The mobile web version is working so it's not blocking me too much, just the app is nice.
Right now the app (Microsoft version) is opening and dissapearing after a few seconds.
I removed the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, same issue..
Just wondering if somebody else has the same kind of issue / problem..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

You know, I'm currently reading an English novel that takes place partly in Hungary. It really doesn't teach you a lot of Hungarian, but there was ONE phrase that springs to mind:
Curva Onyat
Now, you tell me if that is an appropriate reply to that... 
Just kidding... It's the only Hungarian I know, so I might as well have some use for it...

I think you'll find it's "kurva anyád" and before you ask:
- DO NOT TRY TO FIND THE TRANSLATION IT IS NOT KSS
- Her affections are NOT negotiable.
- the possessive is IMPORTANT - anyám = my mother, anyád = your mother and anyát = any mother.
[fixed - possessive nouns is hard]

I wrote from memory, haven't got the book at hand... Sorry... 
But isn't it amazing what you can learn from reading books?

It's true, but...

anyjád - anyád
anyját - annyát
