Top 5 Tutorials on Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is a new kid in the block into the world of Web application development that is rapidly gaining interest, even though it is in beta versions. These days, I am trying to get my hands dirty with Ruby on Rails using various tutorial posts and also some books. Over the coming days, i will try to share my learnings with you through the blog.
Below, in this post, I am putting up a list of Top 5 Tutorials to get you started on Ruby on Rails (RoR). These are infact tutorials, i am going through in order to learn RoR.
- Ruby on Rails Tutorial for Newbies: This tutorial is a basic tutorial targeting the newbies in RoR arena.
- OnLamp’s Tutorial-Rolling with Ruby on Rails: Author Curt Hibbs has given an excellent post on RoR in his tutorial. Check it out, it a must to read tutorial.
- Rolling with Ruby on Rails, Part 2: Second part of the Tutorial by Curt Hibbs
- OnLamp’s Tutorial -Ajax on Rails: Author Curt Hibbs in again another useful tutorial introduces the incredibly easy-to-use Ajax support that is part of the Ruby on Rails web application framework.
- Fast-track your Web apps with Ruby on Rails: IBM Developerworks tutorial on Ruby on Rails.
While the above listed tutorials are really great, i also recommend that you go through Ruby on Rails guides. Also, if you really want to master Rails, you must understand Ruby, the programming language. If you have 15 minutes, you can try out Ruby now; learn about it in my post here.
