I am completely new to the world of Ruby on Rails. I come from a strong HTML/Javascript/CSS background and have development experience with DotNetNuke and Joomla and little in Drupal. I have been looking for a good book to start diving into RoR. I have a bunch of hosting accounts with Godaddy to test my skills on and was wondering if there is a tutorial to get started for RoR using Godaddy hosting services. All links and books that can be helpful, feel free to post. Thanks in advance.
Godaddy has a deluxe and premium linux plan that have Ruby on Rails w/ FASTCGI as a feature...
Rails is very easy that way and if you setup rails correctly on your environment this is all you need:
rails my_app cd my_app ruby script/server
Go to url http://localhost:3000/
No need for a server before you have more experience...
I find seeing things better to start off than reading 10 chapters...
(reading becomes the only way afterwards, so enjoy your video time
Good to know, thanks for that valuable bit of information.
Thanks, I will check this site out.
Just so you know getting a rails app up and running on a Godaddy account is a pain in the #!@. I originally tried to get my app up and running on Godaddy and after zero support from the phone help center and sketchy tutorials on how to get thing accomplished I cancelled my account and signed up with A Small Orange instead who are very helpful in getting your ror app up and running.
