Re[2]: [Rails] New to ROR

Rai,

People have given you good advice.  Let me give me give you a little more advice.

The documentation is maintained by volunteers.  The documentation in some of the Rails tutorials are mostly right but are sometimes either wrong or ambiguous.  I know because I fixed a bunch of these documentation errors as I went through the tutorials step by step about 3 months ago.

Thus, if something doesn't make sense or doesn't work ... it can often be that the docs set you astray.  Stop and ask a question here before you pull your hair out; or in the alternate, just shrug your shoulders and plow on as most people have done.

If you want to become proficient, you might want to look for a road map to learning the technologies you will be using to create web sites.  You might want to check out 

Learning to Code: The Roadmap I Wish I Had Been Given

Finally, you will probably want to learn JavaScript; not Java.  The two languages are totally different.

Good luck and welcome to RoR.

Ralph

Hey Rai, #1 - Learning ROR -- No you don't need to learn java but you will need to learn Ruby (which is used on the Rails framework). #2 - Version info -- For version information & tutorials. Check this comprehensive guide  http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ #3 - Also checkout railscasts.com, railstutorial.org & http://www.humblelittlerubybook.com/book/html/index.html  The last in a link to an intro to ruby -- which you should really focus on  I'm a fairly new to the ROR -- and these links were a helpful for me.
