this is an classic for rails. countless entrepreneur/developers i know have used this as their first 0 to production guide for their first real (shipped, launched, live etc) software projects.
I say it's an excellent intro to someone with maybe some academic programming experience to get into web app development. it gives you the kick starter development plan you need to make a Twitter, db, grub hub, air bnb type startup alone or with a small team.
and... he keeps it up to date! with impeccable detail!
- ryanSrich 10y agoIt's also amazing for non-programmer tech people like designers and marketers who want to start building their own side projects.
- crisopolis 10y agoHopefully they know Ruby first.
- joshmn 10y agoThis. I see so many people just skip Ruby fundamentals and go straight into Rails, or worse... they think that Rails is... Ruby.
- ryanSrich 10y agoI don't understand. Why would they need to know Ruby fist? These arent people looking to become devs. They're looking to limp something along until it takes off or dies. There's no need know Ruby for that. In fact I'd go so far as to say that trying to learn Ruby first is doing yourself a disservice. Just dive right in.
- hiou 10y agoI don't know. I just did a Rails backend. Feel like I couldn't have written more than 100 lines of ruby in the whole thing. Not sure its that important.
