就目前而言,我是一名Java和c#开发人员。我对Ruby on Rails看得越多,我就越想学习它。

你发现学习RoR的最佳途径是什么?在Windows上开发会更容易吗,还是应该在Linux上运行虚拟机?

是否有一种IDE可以与Visual Studio的健壮性相匹配?有什么程序可以给我们一个很好的开销吗?有什么好书吗?

说真的,任何建议/技巧/咆哮都很棒。

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。

我以前在windows上用Java和c#编程。

我赞同这些来源:

IDE:尝试Apatana RadRails 3预览:http://www.radrails.org/3。它是最接近Visual Studio的东西。我偶尔会使用它,但仍然喜欢Textmate的轻盈感。

OS: Mac OS从Ruby社区得到了最多的爱。其他的都被当作私生子对待。

书:

实用程序员指南(十字镐书) 使用Rails进行敏捷Web开发

视频:

Peepcode (pay)是一种快速掌握概念的好方法 Railscasts(免费)是一个很好的方法,每周获取新的宝石和概念增量 Railscasts(专业版)也是一种以相当低的价格获取概念的好方法。

I have got up to speed with Ruby on Rails fairly quickly via this free online course which is currently being offered by UC Berkeley - Software as a Service - Engineering Long Lasting Software with instruction by Armando Fox and David Patterson. I can't speak highly enough of this course... it really was a privilege to learn Rails from these guys. And there is an active community on the course forums if you run into difficulty along the way. The first offering of the online course has now finished (as of 25 March, 2012) - the next time it will be run will be sometime in September of 2012.

It assumes you are a fairly competent developer and gets you started on ruby in the second week, then Rails runs from the third week up to the end of the course (five weeks). Your assignments are marked by an auto-grader. You get provided with a pre-built Ubuntu VM image with everything you need for development pre-installed on it (e.g. Ruby, Rails, Rake, Gems, RSPec, Cucumber, etc). All you have to do is start up the VM inside the (free) VirtualBox software which runs on MacOSX, Windows and Linux.

这门课有一本推荐教材。在这里……但是你可以在网上看讲座和视频。

有一个叫Softies on Rails的网站,是由几个前程序员编写的。NET开发人员可能会有一些用处。他们有一本书叫《Rails for .NET开发者》,将在接下来的几个月出版……

我开始在一个Windows盒子上使用Eclipse的RadRails插件和Dreamweaver的RubyWeaver扩展(回到1。x天的Rails)。从那以后,我换了一台运行TextMate的Mac电脑,再也没有想过回去。

至于书籍,我从《Ruby之路》和《Rails敏捷Web开发》开始。在您开始Rails开发时,构建Ruby背景无疑会有所帮助。

一定要看瑞恩·贝茨的Railscast系列。

刚开始的时候我也问过同样的问题——希望能得到一个关于学习Rails的规范性指南……我找不到,所以我决定写一篇给那些可能有一天会发现自己处于类似处境的人:)你可以在这里找到它:

学习Ruby和Rails的最佳方法

(它现在实际上在官方Ruby on Rails IRC聊天室中与!learn factoid helper一起返回。)

在guides. Rails .info上阅读所有的指南,从Getting Started with Rails开始。它们写得很好,组织得很好,而且是最新的。
