我的步骤是:

* Agile development with Rails (book)
* Railscasts - very useful, always learn something new.
* And of course the RoR API

这也是一本好书 http://guides.rubyonrails.org/

我认为来自Peepcode的截屏和短书真的很好。他们有一些截图让你开始学习，当你更深入的时候也会有一些。

在我的职业生涯中，我已经从c#转向了Ruby和RoR，在我的个人生活中，我发现linux对开发来说更有吸引力一些。特别是现在我已经开始使用git，在linux上的实现更加清晰。

目前我正在双启动，接近于全职运行Ubuntu。我在开发环境中使用gedit和各种插件。从2010年底开始，我开始推动使用Vim进行开发，甚至在OS X上使用Textmate。

大量的Rails开发人员正在使用mac，这实际上让我开始思考这个方向。

虽然我还没有尝试过，但是Ruby in Steel为您提供了一个Visual Studio世界中的Ruby IDE，如果您感兴趣的话，IronRuby是Ruby的. net版本。

就书籍而言，Pragmatic Programmers的《Programming Ruby》(也被称为Pickaxe)是学习Ruby的实际教材。我咬紧牙关，买了那本书和《Rails敏捷Web开发》;这两本书都很棒。

窥码截屏和PDF书籍也很适合入门;每次9美元的截屏费用很难出错。我其实买了五瓶装的。

在过去的一个月里，我已经浏览了Rails和Rails Envy播客的积压，它们提供了许多主题的精彩见解，甚至是关于一般的软件开发。

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?"
