Ruby on Rails Development

Developing a Rails app and deploying it actually requires you to know the full stack. With PHP, you can just cobble together some inline PHP code, FTP it to a server and off you go. In Rails, you really need to know what you are doing from the web server (Apache or NginX), setting up Phusion Passenger and database engine. Then you have to deal with the asset pipeline process to prepare your app to run in Production mode.
