I'm new to Rails and have PHP/MySQL & Coldfusion/SQL knowledge from past jobs. Are there any good tutorials out there that could relate PHP or CF so that Rails makes more sense?
I came to Rails after years of working with PHP and ColdFusion. But I wouldn't recommend relating Rails to either one. Instead, learn it on its own merits. That includes learning the Ruby language on its own merits.
If you try to relate Ruby to PHP or Rails to (say) Fusebox, you probably won't learn to write *idiomatic* Rails.
I'm struggling to understand how things work and the best way to work through tasks. Any help would be great.
