ROR Learning with Dating /Classified Site Development

Hi,

I am falling in love more and more with RoR.

I am looking for a Book/Tutorial which teaches me creating an excellent WebSite for dating and Classified.

I am coming from .net community and now willing to grow more with ROR. We used to have few starterkits in .Net.

Can any one provide me an excellent guideline, how is it possible.

Is there any tutorial site, which offers scripts to study and extend.

Thanks in Advance.

Firstly, We are always glad to have a new convertie.

Next If you want to understand how to USE rails you should read "Agile Web Development with Rails" and the Rails Api

If you want to understand how it works (an admirable quality) You should read "The Ruby Way" and "The Rails Way"

After you've read those and used rails a bit your ready to crawl through the rails core files.

The biggest advantages Rails has is Rubies exceptional handling of 'Reflection' such as:

Object.class_eval Object.instance_eval Object.const_get object.send object.method_missing

There's more of course, However, I seem to run into these more often then not when there's magic afoot.

Hi,

I am happy that today i have found my inspiration for creating a Classified Portal from scratch.

Here is the link. http://redeparede.com.jm/

This is a newly created Classified Site in ROR, with social networking.

I hope some one will help me to create such type of classified site from scratch.

I will also like to place few more links here like .... classified, Matrimonial and Dating Site created in ROR.

Thanks

If you set up a tracker and a svn repo I might be so inclined as to help; when i have the time. Just post the url info here

Hi,

Its strange to see that No Real Life Tutorials / Starter Kits are available in Ruby On Rails to start from scratch.

All I can see are few tutorials of the same kind like creating " Blogs " in 20 minutes or so.

I am looking for a Real Life Starter Kit, which i can study as well as expand it while learning. Many users working on the same Starter Kit can expand it more easily. Starter Kit gives us a platform with a site already build, and you just need to extend it in your way.

Is any one facing same trouble like me.....?

Thanks
