copied!<p>To become good at Rails in my opinion you should first be sure that you understand Ruby well. I would suggest browsing through (careful reading is not necessary if you're already an established programmer) some of the basic ruby books like: <a href="http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/book/" rel="nofollow" title="Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby">Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby</a> and <a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/" rel="nofollow" title="Programming Ruby">Programming Ruby</a>. </p> <p>After this, you should become familiar with the Rails API's and DSL's, I would suggest beginning with reading <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/" rel="nofollow" title="Rails Guides">Ruby on Rails Guides</a>. When you understand the Rails basics the ultimate Rails reference is Ryan Bates' excellent <a href="http://railscasts.com/" rel="nofollow" title="Railscasts">Railscasts</a>. If you don't like watching videos the site has an <a href="http://asciicasts.com/" rel="nofollow" title="Asciicasts">ascii mirror</a>. Even if you don't have a specific task in mind, go watch a few of these to really understand the way problems are tackled in Rails.</p> <p>Ofcourse when it comes to actually gaining skill in developing Rails skills, it is imperative that you try your hand at actually making a few Rails applications. Rails has a notoriously steep learning curve, so it's best when you have tried a few simple unimportant applications before you try to build your life's work with Rails.</p>
