Ruby on Rails from Scratch: Week 3 - Ruby on Rails tutorial

Category: Ruby on Rails tutorials > Basics - Difficulty:

I'm a ruby and rails newcomer, and for my wordpress blog "nubyonrails" decided to work through David Heinemeier Hansson's famous "blog site" Rails demo movie, from the FISL 6.0 conference in Brazil, 2005. It's written for fellow ruby/rails newcomers but covers quite a lot of ground.

Wanting to learn Rails from the very basics at your own pace, with screencasts / articles showing examples? This should suit you nicely. First of a series.

A beginners tutorial on how to use migrations in your Ruby on Rails app.

This week we're going to talk about ruby syntax. After this tutorial, I believe that you'll have a much better understanding of the framework and feel much more comfortable doing things by yourself.

In the final part of this series you will see how to refactor your tests. Keeping tests clean is important because it will make testing easier to do in the future.
