"I never saw in another technology I worked with, a community so dedicated, that provides you support for any questions and also provides extraordinary material for study"

You have never seen that many technology communities then. The Linux Documentation Project dwarfs anything that's "software support". MySQL and Postgres both have larger, friendlier, than Rails. PHP and Perl are both huge too.

Those are communities. Not individual blogs, not twitter feeds. Communities. Supporting mature, tried and true infrastructure software that runs the world.

Sure, I never worked before with open-source communities, thats the reason, and I know that.

Please, can you rate my essay? I'm trying to practice my english writing at the same time I share with you some thoughts :D

It's not bad, but it's not likely to get too many upvotes. There's simply not that much substance.

Still, I'm looking forward to reading about your growth and experience with ruby/rails, and hopefully other languages as well. Be sure to branch out and explore other development environments as well, and keep us up to date!
