Hiya there! All server side Frameworks can perform User Authentication and User Authorization. The basic fundamentals and foundations are same , whether you're using Ruby-on-Rails or Django or Nodejs or Laravel or any other server side Framework. You can jump to Framework to Framework , and still wont understand all the complex logic behind it. I'd recommend you to stay with one framework and try to get your brain wrapped around all the logic and magic happening behind the scene. Good luck. (:

Thank you, Ari Misha But I have another question and it's optional. I see that you have High level experience in server side languages but which of the server side languages were easy to you because I don't know which is the easiest one, And i highly appreciate your answer if you'd answer.

I basically jumped languages to languages as well , until i found Ruby-on-Rails. Rails is a veteran in IT industry like Java or C++. Rails prefer CoC(Convention over Configuration) and DRY(Dont repeat yourself). Rails is beginner friendly and it already comes with reusable codes and frame. My second fave server side framework is Nodejs + Expressjs. Written in JS. Booming in IT industry at this moment. Its the fastest server side framework. I'd recommend either of the two. I'd say start with Rails and then move onto Nodejs. (:

I started the course ruby on rails and am working on a website locally and the special text editor that am using is "Atom". Can I use the "Ruby On Rails" language on the "Atom" text editor? because i can't wait to see the results of my webpage!.

Of course @johnknight ! You can use "Atom". i use either RubyMine or VS Code. And dont forget to learn Ruby first. And then move onto Rails. Dont rush into it. Take your time and look at docs if you dont get it or ask here in Community. Good luck (:
