Warning, a very "newb"ish question: I completed his tutorial inside my browser. Buw what now? How do I do that permanently on my shared server which allows me to create a rails application via cpanel. How do I "populate it with [my] code"?
- mikeryan 17y agoThis isn't a small question and is largely going to depend on your shared server. First generally you're going to do most of your development locally and then deploy it to your server. If you're just starting out then check out the RadRails IDE. It does most of the heavy lifting for you and makes it really easy to get going. After that look at something like capistrano or vlad the deployer for getting the site onto your webserver.

- callmeed 17y agoIf you have shell access to your shared server, I'd recommend getting in there and doing some more Ruby commands (via irb). If not, I'd recommend getting a slicehost/linode account (even if only for a month or two) and practicing there. From there, learn how to install/use gems, various Ruby libraries, and the structure of Rails apps.
