Question

I want to develop a freelance website on dreamweaver with ruby on rails

Hi Adobe community,

I have an idea of a freelance website that I want to develop. I don't have any experience in programming language, I made my research and I found that ruby on rails is an easy and rich programming language to start with.

So, my questions are: does Dreamweaver supports ruby on rails? do you have any recommendation or/and advise you can give me?

Thank you and Merry Christmas !

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you all for your responses!

Even though I found your information a bit overwarming with some technical vocabulary at my level of expertize

Do you think it's possible to develop a freelance web site like freelancer.com on Dreamweaver?

Thank you

Best regards

Anything is possible IF you have the right experience and knowledge. DW is just an editor, given to the right person they could code anything with it.

If you need to ask these quesions then you  dont have the experience necessary and although there may be packages and frameworks which could assist you if you have no knowledge of how they work or how to integrate them you dont have the experience.

It sounds like you are wanting to run before you can walk.

... and as an addition: Adobe has prepared so many good tutorials, for example there Dreamweaver tutorials and other accompanying materials.

There is a alternative to DW: Muse. In order to better assess, you could have a look at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHbFLwutUGk

... and so I for my part prefer DW CC.

I respect miss Warners teaching skills... if it works for you then go for it.

Ruby is a fine language, but PHP is easier for those with no prior coding experience.

Hello,

I'm not so sure, that Ruby will be more simple to use than Dreamweaver or Muse as an alternative. To obtain for themselves an impression of Ruby, you could have a look at https://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby-on-rails/rails-introduction.htm and there I quote:

Embedded Ruby

Ruby provides a program called ERB (Embedded Ruby), written by Seki Masatoshi. ERB allows you to put Ruby codes inside an HTML file. ERB reads along, word for word, and then at a certain point, when it encounters a Ruby code embedded in the document, it starts executing the Ruby code. ...

and not to forget:

To develop a web application using Ruby on Rails Framework, you need to install the following software −

    Ruby

    The Rails Framework

    A Web Server

    A Database System

In my eyes, it doesn't sounds very simple.

Rails is an MVC (model, view, controller) framework based on Ruby code.  

I have used other MVCs for PHP & MySQL in DW -- see links below.  

https://www.codeigniter.com/

https://laravel.com/

If I remember correctly Rails requires an SQLlite3 database and Ruby installed on your  local testing server.

I think that if you're planning to develop in Ruby, you should get a Ruby and Rails IDE.

Ruby on Rails IDE :: JetBrains RubyMine

Good luck & Merry Christmas!
