[Learning] How much ruby should one know before learning Rails?
*This is where i stand :* - I learnt programming on my own by learning Python ( intermediate ). - I have no programming experience. - I only know the basic programming concepts (OOPs, metaprogramming, testing etc.) in both ruby and python. - I only wish to do web development stuff and NO hardcore programming stuff. *What now ?* Should i learn more ruby and get more fluent with it, cos ultimately i will be writing ruby in rails. or Start learning rails with my limited ruby knowledge and learn the rest by doing. (learning by doing method). OPTIONAL: Also it will be of great help to me and other newbies if someone could post the list of minimum ruby concepts (loops,symbols,oops etc) that one should know before learning Rails.

(learning by doing method).Given what you''ve said, I would begin by working on some basic Rails applications and picking up essential Ruby concepts that way. Most Rails applications will only ever use a subset of the language, so you''ll quickly find out which constructions and techniques are common and which are less used. But because Rails is Ruby, you shouldn''t expect that there''s a canonical checklist of Rubyisms that are needed for writing Rails apps. The knowledge required to build and maintain an app is going to depend on the application, and as with anything, There''s More Than One Way to Do It. Recommend the Agile Web Development with Rails book from the Pragmatic Programmers as a practical way of getting started with Rails development including the framework, Ruby language, development process, etc. On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 7:07 AM, Naveen Kumar <justmailnaveen-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>wrote:> *This is where i stand :* > > > - I learnt programming on my own by learning Python ( intermediate ). > - I have no programming experience. > - I only know the basic programming concepts (OOPs, metaprogramming, > testing etc.) in both ruby and python. > - I only wish to do web development stuff and NO hardcore programming > stuff. > > > *What now ?* > > Should i learn more ruby and get more fluent with it, cos ultimately i will > be writing ruby in rails. > or > Start learning rails with my limited ruby knowledge and learn the rest by > doing.

I think there are many paths you could choose to learn Ruby. I recommend the book "Eloquent Ruby" by Russ Olsen. Helped me a lot.

Re: [Learning] How much ruby should one know before learning Rails?
I came from C/Java, and I found The Well-Grounded Rubyist (David Black) to be well-written and extremely helpful. You can spend a couple hours reading an intro book like that and save yourself many "couple hours" of headache by learning the underlying language first.

Hi, I had the same question a while ago:) The first and most important question is: what is your exact goal? What to learn is depend on what you''d like to achieve. You''d like to become a high-skilled, passionate webdeveloper? I suppose. First write your goals down, it helps you see clear your way. For getting involved quickly into Rails with Test-Driven development, Git and cloud deployment on Heroku (which are all very good skills) you might wanna read this free book: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ Definitely the best. This starts with TDD+Git+Heroku from 0. From chapter 4 shows you basics of Ruby you''ll need. Agile Web Development with Rails is good if you''ve already some basic knowledge. There''s a book mostly about soft-skills you''ll need: Passionate Developer. It shows the the way, helped me a lot. Go for a meetup near to you and find some experts who you can ask. Take a look at CodeKata. Register on Github and Stackoverflow, check RailsGuides. Later it''s a good idea to get involved into Ruby deeper, but the most important especially in the beginning: always have fun while you study! Always follow your own interest. Never let others tell you what''s good skills for money ( I mean: don''t study Java... except if you''re interested). And let me know if you''ve further questions. enjoy, Zoli On Sep 4, 7:07 am, Naveen Kumar <justmailnav...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> *This is where i stand :* > > - I learnt programming on my own by learning Python ( intermediate ). > - I have no programming experience. > - I only know the basic programming concepts (OOPs, metaprogramming, > testing etc.) in both ruby and python. > - I only wish to do web development stuff and NO hardcore programming > stuff. > > *What now ?* > > Should i learn more ruby and get more fluent with it, cos ultimately i will > be writing ruby in rails. > or > Start learning rails with my limited ruby knowledge and learn the rest by > doing.
