只有+1敏捷Web开发与Rails(尽管确保您获得最新版本)- http://pragprog.com/

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!

IDE: NetBeans
Book: Agile Web Development With Rails
Installation: Instant Rails

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。

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！

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.

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。
