Ask HN: If you could do it over how would you learn Rails from scratch

7 points by nicksalt ↗ HN
In my learnings, every few months I like getting new perspectives on learning and attacking rails. Would love to hear more stories of you guys/girls on how you would tackle it from the start knowing what you know now.

Same way I learned it the first time.

1. Rails for Zombies to learn basics without setting up a local env.

2. Sam Ruby book, assuming it’s up to date.

3. Make an app from scratch.

I would spend more time in Ruby first.

Then I would build APIs basic unit tests, and lots of request specs.
