Ask HN: What is a great project based Rails tutorial for 2025?

What are your opinions? TOP always comes up as a great option. Doesn’t have to be free; not new to programming.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, recommendations, or shared experiences.

Try *"Rails for Beginners"* by GoRails or *"The Odin Project"* — both are up-to-date, project-based, and great for 2025.

This one by Evil Martians is fairly recent https://rails-tutorial.evilmartians.io/ I haven't done it, since I already know Rails very well, but I know these guys as reputable contributors to the Ruby ecosystem.

Since you aren't new to programming, I'd say the documentation.

Build a frontend CRUD app for an Amazon ecommerce store powered by Ruby On Rails. Use SQL, Ruby On Rails ERB, and Puma. No React, no Javascript, and no advanced styling - Build it to learn the backend and the SQL. Ruby On Rail's ORM is delicious :)
