Throwing myself off a cliff

and then realizing I can’t fly.

Learning basic Ruby on Rails has been an arduous process, having never programmed anything in my life before.  I just went through the excellent Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial  by Michael Hartl and I’ve now moved onto the part where I  start doing things on my own. And it isn’t easy.

A friend  of mine recommended I check out Twitter Bootstrap, and I  love the look and much easier CSS it can do. But integrating it into Rails is proving to be a headache, as I have very  little experience with front end functionality. After a few attempts I was afraid to mess things up and let it be.  But don’t worry Twitter Bootstrap, I will be back to figure you out and make my pages look a whole lot nicer than they do now.
