I'm attempting to learn Ruby so that I can use a service called Heroku to implement a Facebook app. I was originally going to use PHP, but Heroku seems not to have that much support for PHP. Specifically, I couldn't figure out how to establish a connection with the database. This will undboutedly be easier with time, as more examples will crop up as their PHP support continues. As it stands now, I think their support for PHP is about a month old and they specifically limit it to Facebook apps. That could mean they really only are interested in social graph functionality for the time being.
That would be ridiculous, but people are ridiculous some times.
In any case, Ruby should work. It's just going slowly. I'm hoping ultimately to be able to tie a Facebook app together with an Android app so I can market the Android app better. I've already had some success with marketing stuff through Facebook, so I think it could be a real step forward.
