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 The "Learning Rails" podcast, although outdated (Rails 2) was also a good starting resource.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

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

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！

http://www.teachmetocode.com是学习Ruby和Ruby on Rails的绝佳来源。这里有一些介绍Rails基础知识的屏幕视频，还有一个由6部分组成的系列，介绍如何使用Ruby on Rails创建Twitter克隆版。

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)。
