The first thing i would start by learning is HTML/CSS/Javascript(and ajax, perhaps while learning a lib like jquery). If you are interested in web development (and to learn rails i guess you are) you need the basis of the web.
Try http://code.google.com/intl/pt-PT/edu/ajax/index.html http://code.google.com/intl/pt-PT/edu/ajax/index.html for some learning materials.
Afterwards, with some pratice you can start by building your portfolio (can be one or many depends on the qualitiy i guess) and then i would say you more than to strap on your job helmet, and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies!
- httpness 16y agoThanks for responding. I already know HTML and CSS (not that I have any eye for design - ha!). I have a basic grasp of simple JS and ajax, and can usually google how to do a given thing...but maybe that's a place to start filling in the gaps. Especially if I could combine it with learning JQuery. I already have a one-project Rails portfolio, http://archive-fb.com http://archive-fb.com (as well as several easy practice apps that are not deployed). I guess I was just trying to ask, given the extent of my learning so far (as judged by archive-fb.com + my comments), how far am I from jobdom and what should I do next to get closer?
