I just started learning RoR yesterday. Here is what I've done and what I'm planning to do. It would be great to get some validation.
My background: I took intro to C++ in high school six years ago. I wish there was more to say here...
Anyhow, here's what I've done:
-TryRuby.org (This is suppose to be a 15-minute quick run to try Ruby in my browser. It took me a bit longer.)
Here's what I'm doing:
-Railsforzombies.org (A longer in-browser interactive tutorial, also free)
Here's what I'm planning to do, in no particular order:
-Mess around and try to build my rejected YCSummer2011 idea.
-http://www.codeschool.com/courses/rails-best-practices http://www.codeschool.com/courses/rails-best-practices (done by same people at RailforZombies, costs $45)
This is my first post to Hacker News. Howdy from Texas.
- rtdp 15y agoIt's not compulsion to spend some money and do the course. When i started rails, i was without even computer sciences background. The best way to learn rails is by doing and learning with application development itself. In this regard this may help - http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book Keep in mind, the best way to go with rails is learn the conventions, once you get them you will start loving rails or else thing might frustrate you.
