I don't have a specific resource to add, but I want to point out that Rails has a rather steep learning curve. Once you get over the "aha!" hump, though, it's really productive. Edit: Nevermind, here's a resource you should bookmark (even if it is obvious): http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ I still reference pieces of it, and I've been using Rails for six years or so now.

> Rails has a rather steep learning curve. I can't agree more. I came in thinking it was going to be fairly easy to pick up, but it seems like I spend most of my time just looking up how to do things "the Rails way" (not that that's a bad thing persay, but you definitely feel like you're doing nothing sometimes). Anyways, I found Agile Web Development with Rails (4th Edition): http://pragprog.com/book/rails4/agile-web-development-with-rails http://pragprog.com/book/rails4/agile-web-development-with-r... to be fairly useful if you don't mind buying a book. Plus, the ebook gets updated fairly frequently with erratas and stuff, as per usual with the PragProg team.
