Rails - Feb 2006 - Subversion | CVS | Sourceforge | OS X : Tutorials

Can anyone suggest some step-by-step tutorials for using CVS or 
Subversion on Sourceforge with OS X ?

I''m a new to RoR and creating a Sourceforge project was recommended as
a
way of working and learning from/with others.

But I can''t get over the hurdle of transferring what I''ve
already build
to csv.sourceforge or subversion.sourceforge. All my attempts generate 
command line errors.

The best book out there is ''Version Control with Subversion
by Ben Collins-Sussman, Brian W. Fitzpatrick, C. Michael Pilato
Now the good news!
It''s availabe online for free at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ or on
paper from O''Reilly. The book is also available as a Debian package.
If you have a utility to install .deb packages under OSX then you
should be able to fetch it from debian.org and install it.

I''ve had a go through the red.bean book but its not really suitable.
I need a step-by-step guide.

Hi folks,
Im pretty much a newbie to Rails and I was wondering if anyone can  
point me in the way of tutorials and/or some good books. I''m hoping  
to get up to speed quickly.

Thanks,
Michael

Well, the first thing to do to make friends in this very busy mailing list is to
/not/ hit
reply to an existing message and then change the subject to create a new
message. That
messes up peoples threaded mail readers. Not to be scoldy or anything, but a lot
of people
just don''t realize that the email headers are different for a reply vs.
a new mail.

Now, as far as how to get up to speed on rails, I''d highly recommend
you buy the Agile Web
Development with Rails and probably the Programming Ruby ("Pickaxe")
book. There''s just
too much to learn to get it all off of tutorials.... that''s was my
experience anyway. Now,
if you tend to read technical explanations and just "get it", you
might do okay.

Anyway there''s lots of stuff on the wiki:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails

And the rdoc for rails is very thorough (at least on the per-module docs):

http://api.rubyonrails.com/

Plus there''s the classic O''Reilly tutorial by Curt Hibbs
(though it''s a little out of date
now):

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html

And this large pdf is good too:

http://www.rails4days.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Rails4Days.pdf

Good luck and welcome aboard!

I''m a newbie too and found The Agile book and The Pickaxe book 
invaluable.
Four Days on Rails is good too.


For total newbies to programming, and I''ve seen postings on this list 
that indicate there are a few, Google for ''database
normalisation'' which
should provide best practice guides to how to set up your sql tables. 
Also since Ruby is OO I''d suggest some guides to those concepts - 
inheritance, encapsulation etc. I came with a basic knowledge of PHP and 
there are some great intros to the (transferable) concepts via that 
language.
