I am beginner with Ruby and I would like to use gedcom parser.
First, I install it with gem install gedcom.
The documentation is not very useful for me since I don’t where to
begin.
I tried examples from
https://github.com/jslade/gedcom-ruby/tree/master/samples but theses two
samples don’t work.
Does anyone could give me a simple example to start?

Thank you very much
François

Can you tell me whether you want a seperate process for sync as well as for backup?

I’m using a single system only. So, I might have misunderstood your please, If so please explain me

Rails and ruby are great for getting you in with a small learning curve to get going. Ultimately you do need to learn the ins and outs of web development – html, ajax / javascript, mysql or other dbs, etc. You can do a lot without having to know the details of all that, though.

Compared to PHP: ruby is so much nicer to work with, though a bit more complicated when it comes to actually deploying a site for production use. And it’s way beyond C in terms of ease (and pleasure) of development. Each language has its place, though.

I’ve been wanting to check this out. I’ve had some experience with PHP, MySQL as well as C many years ago. How complicated is it compared to these and how do you suggest I get started doing Ruby on Rails?

You’re the 2nd or 3rd person recently that has said Ruby on Rails is the way to go and has some real job potentials too.
