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。

书:奥比·费尔南德斯的《铁路之路》 IDE: Netbeans或TextMate。

My first suggestion would be to learn a little about symbols first. Rails isn't the smallest framework ever, and while there's definitely lots to learn, most of it will start to make sense if you have at least a little bit of understanding what makes it different ("special") from other languages. As pointed out, there's no exact analog in any of the major languages, but they're heavily used by Rails, in order to make things read straightforwardly and perform well, which is the reason I brought it up. My very first exposure to Rails was also my first time looking at Ruby (well before 2.0), and the first thing that caught my eye was the goofy :things they were passing around, and I asked, "WTF is that?"

另外，看看RubyQuiz，并在那个网站上阅读其他人的答案。

我从Java到Ruby再到。我发现这个教程很有用http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-java/。当谈到学习rails时，我不能说我使用了多少脚本\控制台。它允许您摆弄代码并学习如何做您不确定的事情。

我买过的唯一一本书是《使用Rails的敏捷Web开发》，第三版http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition。它非常有用，并且很好地概述了Rails框架。除此之外，我还经常看Railscasts(http://railscasts.com)，这是一个很棒的屏幕筛选博客，涵盖了各种Rails主题。

我个人更喜欢使用Linux(因为git工作得更好)。但是，我也使用过windows和git，我不认为操作系统的选择会影响你的编程。

我在我的IDE中使用netbeans，偶尔也使用vim(带有rails插件)。我喜欢netbeans，但是当涉及到Rails支持时，我发现它仍然有点不靠谱(不是所有的特性都能一直工作)。

任何Rails的uber源都是http://www.rubyonrails.org/，如果站点上没有，你可能不需要它。

一个快速的食谱是Ruby on Rails: Up and Running，你可以从O'Rielly或搜索谷歌获得在线版本。他们带你了解Rails的约定，并使用Instant Rails，这是可以的。

更好的Rails书籍“敏捷Web开发与Rails”，这是Rails的汤到坚果。它会引导你下载和设置Rails、Gems等等。

如果你是一个Java“家伙”，想要一本过渡的书O' reilly有“Rails for Java Developers”http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780977616695/?CMP=AFC-ak_book&ATT=Rails+for+Java+Developers

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！
