I'm pretty new to ruby, and I've been grasping everything that I've read
pretty well. Now I want to convert my website to ruby (not rails yet) so
I can use ruby to create forms with the cgi library. My web hosting
doesn't allow ruby to run with any other markup or scripting, so when I
turn ruby on I need to have my site already coded in ruby and ready to
go.
Considering that I'm new at this, I'm kind of lost. Yes I have searched
google, and the forums already. There's information but it's
overwhelming because it's so much new information. What I really want is
just some guided direction. I'm not asking for people to write tutorials
for me or anything, although I wouldn't mind some links to good
tutorials for this purpose specifically. I just want some quick
information like, what exactly should I study.
Also, I use HTML5 and CSS 3. I noticed that with cgi you cannot use
HTML5. Does that mean you can't use HTML5 in any ruby code? What about
CSS 3?
Thanks in advance

Maybe use ruby CGI?

CGI? Archaic and pointless, IMO -- if not Rails, there are other light
weight "frameworks" like Sinatra, Camping, Merb, etc. that you could
use instead.

That makes virtually no sense at all, but whatever...

Yep. Dive in and write a 'hello world' then, in CGI, Sinatra or whatever
you choose.

HTML5.
Where in the world would you get such an idea?

Your post was a little unclear. Are you trying to suggest I should use
IMO instead of CGI? I'll look into those other frameworks too thanks.

When I enable ruby on my hosting account, it ONLY works for ruby. It
won't display html.

I will do just that. I planned on it, I just wasn't sure if I was
heading in the right direction.

Because it's lighter, has more features, and is the latest in stylesheet
and mark up...

IMO = "In My Opinion"
But I'd suggest you use anything but CGI.

That's ridiculous. Find a real hosting company.

I meant, where in the world would you get the idea that "with cgi you
cannot use HTML5."

Well What exactly would you suggest then.

Because I was reading about escaping HTML with .cgi and it didn't say
you could use HTML5. Only 3 and several versions of 4.

See previous "light weight framework" comment.

"Only 3 and "... Wow. URL? That would have to be from
"When Webosaurs Walked the Earth"
Seriously, check the dates on your sources. I'd take anything more
than a couple of years old with a grain of salt

I didn't even think about checking the date for some odd reason haha. I
think it was in one of my books, but they're ebooks so it's very
possible they're outdated. You've cleared a lot up for me. Thanks!
