Where to start?

Hello rails community... I am trying to build a web application. Every part of this application will be done by one man : me. I want to use state of art rails framework. There are many different process groups for this application but the main point is i am confused about terminology and technologies. If this is an one man show, i must learn ruby + rails + sql (maybe) + css + html + ..... so far. You can think i am totally novice. I have enough time for this project up to one year. What is the best start? Ruby then rails then html then css .... What are your advices? Can you suggest a road map? Note : I know java and ruby nearly at intermediate level. Thanks... Rushen

I would buy a good RoR book and start with it. I wouldn't start your project right away without any knowledge.

No! Learn HTML and CSS first. Get comfortable creating static Web pages. Then learn some basic SQL, and get to the point where you can write simple queries easily and understand how to get a DB to 3NF. JavaScript might also be helpful at this stage, or you can learn it later. Then brush up your Ruby and start in on Rails. Remember to do all programming test-first.

It's my order..

I would stick to Marnens order, sounds good.

You building a webpage so learn the fundamentals first: HTML and CSS After this stick a little bit to SQL, learn what SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE offers you and how you can achieve data from mutliple tables via joins etc pp. At last stick to RoR with RoR comes JS :wink:
