Re: Totally lost in learning Ruby
So Mike, Since a database seems to be the bulk on the creation of a my intended Ed web application/software, should I consider the SQLs or just use the LibreOffice Base along with its Spreadsheet, and then use further analysis from the OpenSource statistical program PSPP to integrate aspects of a)data entry b)other operational skills that (I think) many not be offered Base, and then c)further statistical crunching? Therefore, is it possible to use available OpenSource softwares to piece together a web application/software? I know that I have to acquaint myself with Base and the others, but should I design around the SQLs or Base? Also, just in case anyone reading along or would like to provide their expertise, I am not afraid of "getting my hands dirty" while learning. So I prefer going the properly logically sensible way, without having to reinvent the wheel.So please, I will greatly appreciate ANY AND MANY more comments as they have certainly help clarify a lot of questions regarding programming.
