I didn't come from a programming background and only had a very basic understanding of concepts such as objects, method, etc. I personally used these 3 resources and would strongly recommend them:
- Codecademy to get started with Ruby - Codeschool to learn Rails and dig deeper into Ruby. I subscribed to get access to all the videos. It's $25/month and totally worth it if you're serious about learning Web Development. They have tutorials on: Ruby, Rails, Git, Javascript, HTML/CSS, etc. - Once I felt I had the basics covered, I went through Hartl's tutorial - Then I went back to codeschool to review some concepts that weren't all that clear to me (e.g. testing with Rspec) That's all I needed, these 3 resources and it worked for me. Hope this helps your friends :) On Thursday, 7 November 2013 01:11:39 UTC-5, Ben Curren wrote: > > > Hi, > Every now and then I see people asking about the best way to learn Ruby... > Checkout Getting Started with Ruby on > Rails<http://www.skillsin.com/blog/?p=515> with > several recommended Ruby tutorials. > > Regards, Ben > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
