Okay, that's a lot more fundamental than I was thinking of. There are many web sites that teach you to program, some using Ruby, such as http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/. Or do you mean you've programmed, but all you know about how web pages work, is HTML? There are many web pages that teach you how a web server serves up a web page. Googling "how web requests work" (sans quotes) should get you some good results. After either of those paths, you can try some of the web pages that teach you Rails, such as Michael Hartl's "Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example", or "Rails for Zombies". If you didn't learn Ruby "above", then some of these will teach you enough Ruby to get by, but you'd probably be better off learning Ruby before this point. Also see the Rails Guides that others have mentioned, though it can be pretty heavy reading for someone new to either programming or web apps. Along the way you'll probably have some specific questions. You can ask Rails questions here; more generic Ruby questions should go in the Ruby mailing list, which you can find at ruby-lang.org. However, it can be hard sometimes to tell which is which, so don't worry about it too much. -Dave -- LOOKING FOR WORK! What: Ruby (on/off Rails), Python, other modern languages.
