As someone looking to learn to code from scratch and build a Web/smartphone app, I'm curious what your coding background was before your 8 week ruby cram session began?

great question. I was a web designer working with only html/css. I had no clue what an MVC was before I got told the best route is to learn Rails by Josh.

I'll definitely be making a blog post about the learning Rails aspect as it was requested alot today. If you want, I'd suggest to subscribe that way it'll email you when that post is created.
