I went through the Ruby course, Rails for Zombies I && II, and thought they were fun and intuitive. However, the main things that I retained were how rails works such as migrations and generations. Being new to frameworks, the "auto-magical" aspect behind all of this was fairly confusing so I guess that's not a bad thing to walk away from. Your question is, however, for Ruby itself, and I have to conclude with saying that although it was entertaining, I didn't retain much technical knowledge of Ruby.
- rmp2150 13y agoSorry, I meant the full Ruby on Rails track. Do you think it provided sufficient enough introductory knowledge to enable you to start building web apps?
- downrightmike 13y agoMaybe? Rails 4 isn't finished yet it is still in RC Have a look at: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application/getting-started-with-rails/introduction-to-the-project http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/build-a-simple-... Then when your want to know more: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ The videos were a huge help I kind of gave up on it when they had a ton of security problems. So I'm refreshing with headstart rails from o'reilly. It is a pretty complex subject. Just starting small is hard enough.
