While Rails does let you skip most of the JavaScript and SQL work,  
you can't do it forever.
To really understand what you're doing you should learn a little bit  
of it. You don't have to be an expert at it to use it, but you would  
be doing yourself a disservice by avoiding those topics. SQL more so  
than JS. JS is pretty easy if you've done any C / PHP / Perl  type of  
programming.
