railstutorial also rocks about rails10 HOT 6 CLOSED

deploying to heroku is nice, it does not make sense to force people to buy a vps. Or maybe we can if it's only 5$/mon.

from rails10.

RT starts with talking about static pages, and even have a chapter for essential ruby: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/rails-flavored-ruby

The TDD part is also easy to get.

I think I was wrong this book is very newbie-friendly.

from rails10.

For unix, git, vim stuff, RT employs a "show them along the way" approach, which is nice.

RT also has careful thoughts on how to introduce new concepts, so that people can get it easily. Really nice to help me carry out classroom training.

bootstrap

I will still prefer to teach people how to use css and chrome devtools, I don't think the below code really newbie-friendly

 <header class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse">
      <div class="navbar-inner">
        <div class="container">
          <%= link_to "sample app", '#', id: "logo" %>
          <nav>
            <ul class="nav pull-right">
              <li><%= link_to "Home",    '#' %></li>
              <li><%= link_to "Help",    '#' %></li>
              <li><%= link_to "Sign in", '#' %></li>
            </ul>
          </nav>
        </div>
      </div>
    </header>

show people html5 stuff, also along the way

Rails 3 uses HTML5 by default (as indicated by the doctype ); since the HTML5 standard is relatively new, some browsers (especially older versions Internet Explorer) don’t fully support it, so we include some JavaScript code (known as an “HTML5 shim”) to work around the issue:

this is wise to do like this. I tend to go in too deep into such kind of things, like http, POST, GET, utf8... this is foolish.

一些 RT 中做，但是我们不作的事：

• rails10 中我们就不讲那些 git tdd 方面的事了，我们只是个100分钟的小课程。
• 部署我也有 happycasts 视频了，所以也不用讲了。
• ajax 也有视频了
