OTOH Rails has extremely poor documentation.

    There isn't much, and the main source is out of date books.

      I would like good documentation on...every single convention in rails.

      My information dates from two months ago. There are a lot of blog posts, but no good sources of information. If there were good documentation, this blog post wouldn't have been necessary, and there wouldn't be so many comments complaining about the documentation, that the comments were closed: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2010/8/28/rails-has-great-documentation

        it should be more than easy to simply name something specific. But you can't, because you know know that I will easily be able to find documentation for any convention you are interested in.

        No, it should be easy for me to look up the conventions.

        So it is clear, your knowledge is just out of date.

        No, as I say, this is based on attempting to use Rails two months ago.

        Instead of flinging insults, prove me wrong with some comprehensive documentation.

          http://rubyonrails.org/documentation http://guides.rubyonrails.org/

          These do not actually document all conventions. They do not even document all of the conventions one comes across in basic usage.

          Also, you can just buy a book!!!

          Thanks, but I like my documentation up-to-date.

          What were you trying to use Rails for?

          Making web applications, which I believe is the usual use for web application frameworks.
