Hey guys! Chris from GoRails here. I think everyone who has learned Ruby on Rails was familiar with Ryan Bates' Railscasts.

@taykcrane Totally. Mine experience was a mixture of videos, tutorials, a couple physical books, and then mostly just trying to build stuff and get lost.

That said, the only real books I read on Ruby/Rails were Agile Development W… See more
