Simple Ruby on Rails tutorial

Question

Can somebody give link to RoR's "hello world" ? Where writen how RoR works with simple example? thanks.

Answer 1

Ruby on Rails hello world

Or more seriously, I would suggest reading:

• Getting Started with Rails
• "Hello World" Web Application in Ruby on Rails using console

Answer 2

Some of the best resources for Ruby and Rails are :

For rails reference: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ For API Reference: http://www.gotapi.com/rubyrails Actual Rails Site: http://rubyonrails.org/

If you want to refer some books; I find The Rails way by Obie fernandez really good. To get a gist of Rails, you can use Head First Series.

Cheers

Answer 3

It is a bit more complicated than "hello world", but the screencast on how to create a weblog in 15 minutes on the ruby on rails website is a rather good introduction.

Answer 4

Michael Hartl (co-author of RailsSpace) is working on a very nice free-online Rails tutorial: Learn Rails by Example.

He's only completed the first 4 chapters, but chapter 1 takes you through deploying a Rails app using Heroku, so it's pretty useful already.

I also turn to the Rails Guides as the best source of official documentation.
