I should also point out that there is this on going debate about whether it is better to learn Ruby before diving into Rails, or just learn them at the same time. Personally I tackled them both, since I could plug what I was learning into a web application project. I learn much better by doing.
Hope this helps!
- nuclearsandwich 15y agoAs someone who teaches beginning Ruby and Rails workshops. I often find the limiting factor in getting to where students want to go is comfort with Ruby itself, Rails automates so many of the early details that knowing a little bit more about what Ruby is doing can be phenomenally enabling. By all means learn both at once, but stay just a little ahead in your Ruby skills. The Ruby Koans is great for solidifying Ruby concepts glossed over in Rails. http://rubykoans.com http://rubykoans.com
