What are some Great resources to get into Rails? Keep in mind this is for someone that has little to no programming experience. So starting from scratch... A little background is that I want to create a program for personal use that uses Databases to store lots of information. They wopuld draw from each other and work to help in large scale event planning and management. Any help is appreciated.

I started from a very simple guide of Ruby in my mother tongue. About Rails, this guide explains you the main elements: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html Next step, when I have an idea, I search in Google and I try to do it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Make sure that you install exactly the correct version of rails for the tutorial (which should be Rails 3.n) Most developers use Linux (Ubuntu for example) or Mac. I recommend installing with rvm, I gather that rbenv is an alternative. Also consider that to develop web applications you will eventually need a good knowledge of html, css and javascript.

Start with Ruby itself. you need to understand the basics about programming. This book<http://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Programming-Language-David-Flanagan/dp/0596516177/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361527125&sr=8-2&keywords=ruby>is awesome. In parallel, you can study a little about databases, independent of vendor (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle...) a little experience with SQL is necessary. After that, take a good Ruby on Rails book<http://www.amazon.com/Rails-3-Action-Ryan-Bigg/dp/1935182277>, Ryan Bigg is maybe the coolest RoR writer, mainly for newbies like us. With these books, you''ll be well guided to Web Development with Rails. Ohhh, another tip is watch Railscasts from Ryan Bates. This guy comes every week with some awesome tutorials. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Q1. It looks that most convenient way of developing Rails Views is using form helpers when developing forms and partials. On the other hand one can develop much richer HTML5 pages/mockups using WYSIWYG tools like CKEditor, Dojo/IBM Maqetta, etc. How one can continue with Rails having already developed Web site mockups? Q2. Up to my findings, Ajax can be automatically fired using :remote=>true but just in link_to and form_for helpers. There are many other JavaScript client events when one needs Ajax to be called. How to proceed with Ajax in that case, for example onClick mouse/keyboard event? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

A1. If you have a mockup already you replicate most of the look and feel by
pasting that in your erb file and replacing forms etc with their form
helper counterparts. The only issue to keep in mind, most of those produce
less than optimal code, which means you may want to clean that up a bit.
A2. Rails comes with jQuery included by default (in later versions
anyways). You can simply bind events to the DOM with jQuery. Something
along the lines of:
$(''#someId).on(''click'',function(){
yourfunction();
});
It''s really quite easy once you learn how.

Ruby guides is really great resource for RoR learning. But I can advise you www.codeschool.com also. They have fun course called "Rails for Zombies". It''s little messy for the begginers, but it really helps me when I was just started RoR learning. пятница, 22 февраля 2013 г., 9:25:53 UTC+4 пользователь JohnA написал:> > What are some Great resources to get into Rails? > Keep in mind this is for someone that has little to no programming > experience. > So starting from scratch... > > A little background is that I want to create a program for personal use > that uses Databases to store lots of information.
