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。


当前回答

您可以尝试的另一个IDE是Aptana。

其他回答

我的建议是开始——选择一个你通常用来学习mvc风格语言的小项目(例如,一些数据库,可能是一些基本的工作流),然后当你需要学习一个概念时,使用其中的一个(或两个!)

使用Rails进行敏捷Web开发 或 铁路之路

了解它是如何工作的,然后尝试一下。

敏捷Web开发的问题在于它已经过时了,并且场景运行的时间太长,以至于您真的不想只构建一次;Rails方式可能很难遵循,因为它是从参考到学习的跳跃,但如果它是好的,它比敏捷Web开发要好。

但总的来说,它们都是好书,都有利于学习,但它们都没有提供你想要遵循的“教育”路径。所以我读了前者的几章(足以获得基本概念并学习如何引导第一个应用程序——也有一些在线文章可以帮助这一点),然后就开始了,然后每隔几天我就会阅读一些新的东西,或者我用书来理解一些东西。

还有一点:这两本书都是Rails方面的书籍,而不是Ruby方面的书籍,如果您打算编写干净的代码,那么尽早花一天时间学习Ruby语法是值得的。Why's Guide to Ruby是一本很好的书,还有其他的。

实际上,我有一篇关于如何开始使用rails的文章应该会有所帮助。你的问题中唯一没有涉及到的是操作系统。不管你信不信,Mac是这里的主导者!但是我很喜欢使用Ubuntu。有gedit插件让你非常接近TextMate -事实上,我更喜欢gedit。

如果你在一台windows机器上,可以使用linux,这绝对是一个更好的方法。Windows上的Rails有很多问题。

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 The "Learning Rails" podcast, although outdated (Rails 2) was also a good starting resource.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!

我没有编程背景。我自学了PHP,最近加入了一家专门研究Ruby on Rails的公司。他们有一个全面的Rails培训计划,它足够灵活,可以适应我们想要实现的任何更改。虽然我不是rails专家,但我愿意分享我使用rails的经验。我希望这能有所帮助。

以下是我所遵循的路径(结合我所使用的工具)

Start with a simple ruby guide. It will help a lot, since entire rails framework revolves around classes and objects. Environment and OS are not important. Though I am working on a Mac, I frequently work on Linux and Windows, and I do not face any problems. Start with a good book which explains using a demo app. [I am using Agile Web Development with Rails - By The Pragmatic Bookshelf]. There are many other good books as well. Once you are done with the application, you will have a good idea of the framework. Try to understand the SQL queries generated by Active Record module. Go through the Rails Guides. You will find the framework a lot easier. Keep practicing.

几个关键点

It takes years to learn a language completely. So be patient and do not stop learning. Go through rails api as when required. [While developing your first app] Google the things which you do not understand. People have written great articles on almost all topics. Use Stackoverflow :-) [Only when you are not able to find the solution on your own.] Load railscasts on your phone or video player. Watch 'em while travelling or in your free time. They are of few minutes each. You will learn a great deal of things and also learn the best way of doing things.

工具

Shell[在Mac和Ubuntu中] 编辑器[Mac中的Textmate, Ubuntu中的Gedit和Windows中的notepad++] 安装了Firebug的Firefox进行测试。

最后我有一句话要说“继续努力”。愿一切都好!
