Ruby on Rails

Well first, have you learned Ruby at all prior to looking into Ruby on Rails? I think most people would say it is essential to do the learn ruby course first. If you have already gotten reasonably good with the Ruby language itself and you have been watching the videos and asking questions in the forums here I think a good next option would be to check https://www.railstutorial.org/book. It is a very thorough and step by step book so you should be able to read through it.

I think the real main thing is to make sure you look up anything you do not understand. If you are not understanding anything then maybe you need to take a step back and start with something simpler. There are many resources for asking questions and learning. Other sites such as codeacademy are good places to look. Here is another list of places worth checking: http://www.skilledup.com/articles/best-free-ruby-rails-tutorials.

I also found that this course assumes more knowledge than a beginner has. I've paused taking it and have been working through Richard Schneeman's free Rails course that he taught at UT Austin. He explains things much more clearly, and more importantly, teaches one new concept at a time. I'm only 40% through it and I'm finally starting to understand what a route vs layout vs view vs controller is. It seems that most other tutorials I've looked at never clearly defined all these.
