I brought the book and started watching the screencasts and now it’s finally starting to make sense.

What I like is that rails forces you to do things in a certain way, this is the opposite to PHP which effectively hands you a blank sheet of paper and says “go make a mess”. Limitations are a pretty good thing.

My current problem is that I keep triggering error message and no way of knowing how to fix it, PHP is pretty easy to fix. Error on line X, go fix it. But if rails starts crying about ActiveRecord, I don’t know where to start.
