学习任何东西(包括Ruby on Rails)的最快方法是结对编程。

找一个懂Rails的人，选择一个示例应用程序，坐下来，解决bug，添加功能。

知识共享是不可思议的。

http://railsforzombies.org/是一个不错的网站。介绍了一种在浏览器中学习Ruby on Rails的全新方法，无需额外配置。

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。

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