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

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。

《敏捷开发与Rails》一书是最好的教学工具。它有一个很好的类似于生活的应用程序，它通过章节向你介绍不同的概念。我使用了两次示例，之后我有了足够的知识来做自己的事情，并依赖于rails API文档(http://api.rubyonrails.org/)。

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。

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
