Ruby on Rails Basics

I am starting out with Ruby with the hopes of learning Ruby on Rails afterward. Is there a Ruby on Rails Basics course somewhere?

Hi Rob,

Sorry; I had to go out straight after I sent my reply!!

I would start the Rails stuff with the (Build A Simple Ruby On Rails Application](https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application) - BUT, and this is key critical, make sure you have the old version of Ruby on Rails installed as this app will not work in the new world.

Once you've worked through that, there's a couple of courses that develop that application further. Then there's the Todo list application course and its more advanced ones. They are quite a challenge for various reasons; be sure to be asking lots in the Community pages for those.

There's a few walk-throughs or short courses that I found useful. The static pages one is good, for example.

Good luck with whatever direction you choose!

Steve.

Hi Rob,

There are lots of Rails courses, yes. Have a look here for the full list, in among the Ruby ones.

Enjoy!

Steve.

I saw the list of all of the courses, but I didn't see a Basics course. After taking the Rub Basics course, which Ruby on Rails course would you recommend taking?
