So far, while learning Ruby On Rails, I’ve found about 95% of what I want to know through google. The Rails community rocks like that. But hey, the world could always use some more information right? This blog will go over the paths I have taken, and will continue to take while moving from rails beginner to a more experienced rails developer. The way I see it is this - I’ve learned a lot just by googling, but there are still lots of those moments where I come to a realization and wish I had known about it earlier. Hindsight is always 20/20, but hopefully some bits of my hindsight can be used as someone else’s foresight… I’ll be posting about the following:
- What tools/resources I found useful (and what ones I did not)
- Commentary and looks back on the order I ended up learning things (with as many of the ‘I wish I had…’ thoughts as possible)
- Answers to problems that I couldn’t’ find on google so I had to figure them out myself…
- Good design practices (both rails backend as well as CSS, usability, and anything else come across)
My goal with this blog is to share my experience learning rails, learning ruby (which I’m sure a lot of rails newcomers will be doing at the same time as they are learning rails)…
