Yes. It is definitely possible. Remember the 5 minutes blog that Rails used to have on their website?

The timeline can be something like these: - 2 weeks: basic programming knowledge(just Ruby, not Rails) - 2 weeks: basic website knowledge(html/css/js) - 2 weeks: basic rails knowledge(modal/view/controller) - 2 weeks(final): a final project to do whatever you want?
