6,807 PointsA bit lost on Ruby/ Ruby on Rails
Hello everyone! I am soon done with the "Rails Development" track and I feel a bit.. bored of someway. When I began with the track I was super exited. I heard that Ruby was a great language that was easy, fun, easy to get jobs etc. So I really dived into it. But now.. I feel that most of my knowledge is fading away. It might sound dumb, but it feels like I don't even know of to start a project anymore. And the worst part is that a couple of days before I couldn't stop learning, it was SO FUN!
Anyway.. I feel a bit lost atm, and was woundering if anyone could give me some tips. Like, what to do after the track, what kind of stuff I should focus on and so on. I feel like Ruby is a fun language. But, should I switch over to Javascript instead?

I found that JavaScript is actually epic and the quantity of frameworks for JavaScript are multiplying these days. Ruby is flexible, though, so personally I like Ruby more. But really its up to you! If you can't decide, you can always do both, too!
Hope this helps! ~ Alex

16,594 PointsHey Martin. I hear you. Doing projects of your own I think is where the real learning begins. Up until then it's just doing what is presented. For me, I felt like I learned a bit. Then when I tried to do something I had an idea for, I would find how little I really knew. But then looking stuff up and asking questions on the forums I would be able to get some stuff done. Still lots to learn though. Say, can you make an online appointment calendar for my business?
