这也是一本好书 http://guides.rubyonrails.org/

这里有一些很棒的建议!

我将列出的一些资源已经被提到，一些我认为没有。我肯定还不是一个专业选手，我只是在过去的几个月里一直在学习，我的进步速度很快。这是帮助我的顺序:

Why's poignant guide to ruby: excellent introduction to the Ruby language by the infamous _why. Agile web development with rails book: great book with some good in-depth follow alongs Rails tutorial by Michael Hartl (railstutotrial.org): this has been my favorite resource. Hartl's style of walking you through demo apps and explaining everything just made things click for me. Rails for Zombies - ran through this twice, great for reinforcing the basics. Railscasts - I started following this along at first, but they were not helpful until now that I am just really starting to grasp Rails. I would leave these for the end after you have got your feet wet. Think Vitamin's rails tutorials were also pretty good. I followed along these screen casts at first, to feel out the language and then did them again towards the end. The "Learning Rails" podcast, although outdated (Rails 2) was also a good starting resource. I listened to this while driving/working out.

我希望这对你有帮助!我远不是专业人士，但我一头扎进去，尽可能多地从各种资源中汲取。我上面提到的方法是最有帮助的!

哦，现在真正对我有帮助的是制定个人项目和设置特定的任务。跟着做很好，但是当你在没有向导的情况下潜入时，你才能真正学到东西!

我同意srboisvert的观点。不要在Windows上操作。您可以将Ubuntu (Linux版本)添加到Windows并进行双启动。这需要一些工作，但这比违背常理，试图让所有事情都在寡妇身上工作要容易得多。

Ubuntu, Heroku和Git工作得很出色。要知道学习曲线一开始是陡峭的。从Guru.com或Elance上雇佣一些人来帮助你。

此外，在Mac上运行Textmate是首选的解决方案，所以如果你正在考虑购买一台Mac或有机会使用一台Mac，这是最好的选择。我认为你不需要太多的计算能力……

最后，我最喜欢的书是《Agile Web Development for Rails》。谷歌搜索并不能很好地工作，因为大多数信息来自旧版本的Rails，已经被弃用或不能工作。

学习任何东西(包括Ruby on Rails)的最快方法是结对编程。

找一个懂Rails的人，选择一个示例应用程序，坐下来，解决bug，添加功能。

知识共享是不可思议的。

我现在正在学习Rails，如果你正在使用Windows(假设使用c#开发)，如果投资Mac不是一个选择，我强烈建议你学习Linux。

如果你不想在你的硬盘上为Ubuntu创建一个单独的分区，我建议你看看Wubi，一个Ubuntu的Windows安装程序。Rails在Ubuntu上的体验远没有在Windows上那么令人头疼，我认为它类似于OSX开发环境，只是没有那么多的应用程序支持。我目前正在使用一个alpha文本编辑器Redcar，它允许你有一些textmate的功能，流行的OSX编辑器。

我读过的关于Rails的好书是Cloves Carneiro Jr和Rida Al Barazi写的《Beginning Rails 3》。还有Noel Rappin的《Rails测试处方》，关于用测试驱动的方法进行开发。

我最喜欢的是Ryan Bates的Railscasts，它让我从业余爱好者变成了行家。他通常在每周一左右发布一个关于Rails精华的视频，或者最近的Sass、SCSS、Coffeescript以及与Rails 3.1相关的技术。

我觉得对于任何初学者来说，必读的是why's(尖锐的)ruby指南。不幸的是，当我开始接触Ruby时，_why消失了，但他的内容仍然分散在各种来源。它有奇特的幽默，到最后你会很好地了解Ruby的语法。

我在很久以前看过臭名昭著的“15分钟写博客”视频，当时Rails大概还在1.0版本左右。关于Ruby/Rails世界最重要的事情之一是，鉴于它是一个伟大的社区，与其他框架相比，它的变化速度快得可笑。

今天，Rails与过去相比有了很大的不同，尽管其主要意识形态一直保持不变。尽管在过去的几年里我学到了很多关于Rails的东西，但我仍然在不断地学习关于它的新东西。

对我来说，帮助我发现并跟上Ruby和Rails的最新方法的最有价值的资源如下:

Rails Guides - A nice way of learning Rails itself, edited by the community, moderated by the core contributors. The site has a lot to offer on most of the important main topics around Rails that it can get you up and running very quickly. It covers bot the most recent stable and edge versions of the framework. If you understand the main ideology of Rails than I definitely recommend checking out (and subscribing to) Ryan Bates' Railscasts. Let me just quote from the site itself, I think it's pretty self explanatory: Every week Ryan Bates will host a new Railscasts episode featuring tips and tricks with Ruby on Rails. These screencasts are short and focus on one technique so you can quickly move on to applying it to your own project. The topics target the intermediate Rails developer, but beginners and experts will get something out of it as well. There are also a lot of podcasts around Ruby/Rails, the two that I keep listening to are Ruby5 and the Ruby Show. For more specific questions like API calls etc, I'd recommend APIDock's Rails and Ruby sections where you can get more information on specific methods. If you are getting more familiar with the framework, it's worth taking a look at Rails Best Practices. There's a bunch of short articles on certain issues that most people make in the beginning of their learning curve with Rails. This site is meant to point pot these issues and help beginners finding their way towards writing better and more well thought out code. There's also a gem that you could use which scans your application and points out these issues and offers solutions/workarounds. Pretty neat!

这些资源应该可以帮助您建立和运行Rails。祝您在Rails世界的旅程中好运，欢迎来到这个社区。
