I''ve been searching (the forum and the web) for a while without joy so I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I am new to OOP and Ruby. I want to start writing some simple web apps and identified RoR as a good platform for the type of stuff I want to do. FWIW I have decent HTML and CSS skills and some SQL experience but little knowledge of much else. I am in the process of setting up a box to run RoR but am slightly stumped as where to go next. I don''t have enough coding experience to jump into the projects I have in mind nor enough familiarity with using MVC pattern to exploit an OOP language powerfully. So I am looking for some step-by-step tutorials that walk me through building an app to get a bit more of a feel for OOP and Ruby. Something akin to this (a CSS tutorial I found great - http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/hands_on_tutorial/index.html ) would be awesome. Can anyone recommend something/somewhere that is pitched at someone without an OOP background? Budget is an issue so face to face training is out unfortunately, but I would buy books if you think they would help me. Thank you in advance for any advice. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Total newb questions - resources or tutorials?
And when you''re done with that, grab this book to solidify your knowledge of Rails and learn some advanced techniques: http://www.amazon.com/Rails-Way-Addison-Wesley-Professional-Ruby/dp/0321445619 ESPNDev On Mar 13, 8:52 am, Jon Garvin <jgarvin.li...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Fat Al wrote: > > I''ve been searching (the forum and the web) for a while without joy so I > > was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. > > > I am new to OOP and Ruby.
