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.

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!

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。

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。
