Subject: What´s ruby on rails for?

Hi,

I�m a Delphi programmer,tht was once a clipper programmer,that was
once a Cobol programmer.

So,It is time to change again.

By now I would prefer to become  a farmer instead of using .NET,Java
seems to be a five heads monster.

I�ve heard that Ruby on Rails is much easier to learn than Java.

But what are the cons?

Is it good for ERP development,I�ve heard something about it does not
supportin conpound primary keys and two phase commits(Altough I�ve
never done that before).

Is it too buggy?How many users there are around the world?

I�ve never seen a Ruby Job in Brazil,But I�m almost 40 years old
now,It is time to take the risk and learn something that will last more
 10 or 15 years(Is it Ruby?)

What books do you recomend for a beginner?

Marcello
