Learning Rails

1. Ruby Weekly: This is an awesome newsletter that gives me a good variety of blog posts, gems to use, and tips and tricks. I read it weekly.
2. The Ruby on Rails guides themselves are an awesome place to get started (I refer to the Active Record / Models section all the time).
3. GoRails is good if you want to watch videos instead of read. Here are some my favorite primer videos.
   • Ruby on Rails Application Structure Explained
   • MVC
   • Rails 6 for Beginners Part 5: Routes and Route Types
   • Rails 7.1 Authentication From Scratch
4. DeepWiki is useful for learn how Rails applications work. Here’s one for the rails/rails project.
5. Related to the above, I like to look at major Ruby on Rails application to see how they structure things and work. Some good examples:
   • GitLab.org / GitLab FOSS · GitLab: A massive, well-documented Rails app with a Vue.js frontend. It’s one of the best examples of a large-scale SPA built with Rails, though the codebase is complex and may be overwhelming for beginners.
   • GitHub - antiwork/gumroad: Heavy on the Typescript frontend, great application and a smaller startup.
   • GitHub - discourse/discourse: A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple.: A platform for community discussion. Heavier on the Ruby backend using Services, Serializers, and
6. awesome-rails has a bunch of resources as well.
7. While not directly related to learning Rails, I like keep an eye on the GitHub trending Ruby repositories as inspiration for seeing what people are building for the ecosystem.
