哦，我差点忘了。下面是更多的Ruby截屏资源:

SD Ruby——他们在网上有很多视频——我发现他们的Rest演讲SD9和SD10是最好的介绍之一。其他休息演讲假设你无所不知。这些都是非常介绍性和切题的。

Obie Fernandez谈InfoQ - Restful Rails。我也读过他的《Rails Way》一书，发现它内容丰富，但冗长而曲折，质量也有点不稳定。我从这本书中学到了很多东西，但我觉得为了读到好的部分而阅读重复的和不相关的东西有点惩罚人。

Netbeans是一个很好的手把手IDE，如果你有耐心等待它的工具提示，它可以教你很多语言技巧(即使在非常快的机器上，它也是一个非常慢的IDE)，你可以使用IDE以图形化的方式浏览可用的生成器和类似的东西。获得最新的版本，甚至还内置了Rspec测试。

波特是一个预先构建的基础应用程序，其中已经插入了许多标准插件。如果你下载并试用它，弄清楚它是如何设置的，你就已经在创建自己的全功能应用程序的半路上了。

我发现Obie Fernandez写的《The Rails Way》非常棒，当使用Rails进行敏捷Web开发还不够深入的时候，我经常会参考它。Obie Fernandez也有一个不错的博客。

请注意，rails世界充斥着大量令人沮丧的过时且不一致的文档和示例。它可能是发展最快、最流行的开发社区之一。当你学到一些东西的时候，它已经改变了。甚至书中所讨论的rails版本也不一致。通过博客记录!足够的说。

我目前在windows上做RoR。我的建议是尽量避开窗户。很多东西都不起作用，rails社区真的真的不关心你。迁移到Git真的把我搞得一团糟，因为它在windows上不能很好地工作。很多宝石会因此而失败(Heroku看起来像一个很酷的工具-对我来说太糟糕了，它不能处理window的Git设置)。卡皮斯特拉诺出局了。这种情况继续下去，令人恼火。

Plus, in the back of your mind, you always wonder when something doesn't work "Is it a rails/windows problem?" I am not sure this is solved by using linux because linux brings its own hassles like constantly having to upgrade all those different dependencies, etc...If that's the kind of thing you enjoy it might be an okay choice for you. Those days of enjoying system fiddling are behind me and I just want to get on with doing my work. I am planning on installing ubuntu on a home machine just so i can get familiar with things like capistrano so maybe my opinion will change.

我强烈建议，如果你打算做rails开发，你应该认真考虑购买一台Mac。如果你珍惜你的时间和理智，它几乎会立即得到回报。你花了10个小时调试windows/linux安装问题，这取决于你如何评估你的时间，你花的钱和Mac电脑的钱一样多。

与它所取代的东西相比，Rails是一种乐趣，但它也有点痛苦，因为它的支持者跳过了许多无聊但重要的东西，如文档、兼容性问题和社区建设。它比Django等其他框架强大得多，但有时我在看Django的文档和社区时，会像一个有狂野性感女友的男人看着他朋友平凡但理智稳定的妻子一样叹息。但是后来rails添加了一个特性，我惊叹道:“哦，太棒了!”

在我看来，Rails的截图比Peepcode的截图要好。RubyPlus也有截图，注意，它们有点粗糙。BuildingWebApps有一个免费的在线课程，课程进行到一半就开始截屏。

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。

我在Mac上开发，这有时是有益的——它是Rails开发人员非常流行的平台，所以你看到的许多博客文章都是面向Mac的。不过Linux也很棒;)

最后——我和公司一点关系都没有——当你有东西想要直播时，heroku是一个不错的选择。找到一个便宜的rails主机并不容易，所以这是一个很好的起点。不过，还有很多其他优秀的主持人!Heroku确实需要git来进行版本控制(尽管您可以在subversion之上使用它)。

祝你好运!
