现在有一个关于NETTUTS的非常可靠的正在进行的系列，您可能会感兴趣。

和你一样，我是一名java/ c#开发人员，试图学习更多的Ruby On Rails。

我正在学习免费的在线课程《Ruby on Rails Programming with Passion》，这是一门很好的入门课程，可以去看看。

我们使用NetBeans作为IDE (win/mac/linux/solaris)，如果你习惯Eclipse或Visual Studio，你很有可能会喜欢它。

我目前正在学习RoR，这是我到目前为止所做的: 1. 阅读并遵循SitePoint的“简单Rails 2.2” 2. 阅读并跟随Oreilly的“Rails, Up and Running”第二版。

这两本书很有教育意义，采用了相同的方法，但风格不同;第二本书更激进一些，如果你有一些RoR知识，这是很好的。

如上所述，在阅读资源时要非常小心，有很多过时的视频和文章。

我非常喜欢Jetbrains的《RubyMine》。它似乎是一个功能非常齐全的IDE，这是我在许多其他替代品中所错过的。也为了一个简单的环境，我喜欢文本编辑器。简单明了。

阻力最小的路径:

Have a simple web project in mind. Go to rubyonrails.org and look at their "Blog in 15 minutes" screencast to get excited. Get a copy of O'Reilly Media's Learning Ruby Get a Mac or Linux box. (Fewer early Rails frustrations due to the fact that Rails is generally developed on these.) Get a copy of Agile Web Development with Rails. Get the version of Ruby and Rails described in that book. Run through that book's first section to get a feel for what it's like. Go to railscasts.com and view at the earliest videos for a closer look. Buy The Rails Way by Obie Fernandez to get a deeper understanding of Rails and what it's doing. Then upgrade to the newest production version of Rails, and view the latest railscasts.com videos.

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 The "Learning Rails" podcast, although outdated (Rails 2) was also a good starting resource.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