I'm learning Rails by implementing an online version of the game Pente. I thought I'd blog about the process since I always learn better when I have to "teach" someone else what I've learned, and it never hurts to have another resource out there for new Rails developers. I am also hoping by getting feedback from the community I can enhance my learning and maybe even spark some discussion.
I started by posting an introductory article linking to the resources I've found the most helpful, and posting some articles on the design decisions I made before starting the project. I'll be posting regular updates as the project progresses. I'll start out doing pretty detailed step-by-step articles, and slowly leave more up to the reader. At the end I'll post articles documenting the deployment process as well. The idea is that if a new developer read the articles from beginning to end they would be as comfortable with Rails as I will hopefully become.
I hope you'll take a look! I welcome any feedback and comments.
Thanks,
Jake
