Being a non programmer I try to build my first web app in RoR, but as I am learning from scratch it will take some time. Any others starting from scratch here?

On the other hand I am completing a project I am really excited about, a long kept idea, using external developers, which I hope to reveal in June - http://www.mindthebook.com . Stay tuned.
