WARNING! I am a complete newb to programming...

problem: ok so I've searched and seen ever solution I could find on getting ruby on rails to work properly on my machine with windows 8 64 bit with no success. as of today what is the best version of ruby and rails that will work on a PC. is there a tutorial that is as highly recommended as the Michael Hartl tutorial that uses a version that is stable on my operating system?

my plan b also is there another route I can take for server side? I am most comfortable with javascript so I was thinking of learning node.js instead. What are the pro's and cons of using node.js over ruby on rails.

what im trying to build I have built a very simple music blog. I built a form for users to make and submit there own blog posts. update a blog post template html file i made with the user input from the form using js and jquery. the part I don't understand is generating a new page each time a form is submitted. right now when i fill out the form it just changes the template file without creating a new page.

thanks for any suggestions and sorry if this is hella newbish

  • Also, what makes you think that there's some problem with Win8 and Rails? Don't assume there's some compatibility issue when it could very well be that as a newbie, you just don't know how to interpret what you're seeing. – MarsAtomic Oct 15 '15 at 21:47
  • thanks for the advice. I'm not simply assuming. I've seen that a lot of other people have had the same problem and I have been able to successfully install and build a simple app in rails on cloud9. i thought my question was a specific programming question. – Chaz Mabry Oct 15 '15 at 22:44
