[Locomotive-users] general frustration

[Jay Craig]

Ray,

Rails is really simple and clean compared to other web development  
platforms, but there is still a vast ocean of underlying technology  
beneath the surface that you really need to know something about. Buy  
a copy of Agile Web Development with Rails by Dave Thomas and Rails  
creator David Heinemeier Hansson and work through it. Chapter 3 will  
answer your setup questions and get you headed straight.
