This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again. Though I’ve worked my way through many Rails books, this is the one that finally made me “get” it. The linear narrative is such a great format. Enjoy! Derek Sivers (sivers.org) Founder, CD Baby Acknowledgments The Ruby on Rails Tutorial owes a lot to my previous Rails book, RailsSpace, and hence to my coauthor Aurelius Prochazka. I’d like to acknowledge a long list of Rubyists who have taught and inspired me over the years: David Heinemeier Hansson, Yehuda Katz, Carl Lerche, Jeremy Kemper, Xavier Noria, Ryan Bates, Geoffrey Grosenbach, Peter Cooper, Matt Aimonetti, Gregg Pollack, Wayne E.

Rails Tutorial for a Startup Prelaunch Signup Site by Daniel Kehoe Last updated 8 September 2012 Note: This tutorial is overdue for a round of revisions since it no longer matches the current rails-prelaunch-signup example application. Ruby on Rails tutorial showing how to create a “beta launching soon” application for a startup prelaunch site with a signup page. Screenshot: Read an interview with Michael Gajda of XPlaygrounds.com about how he used the rails-prelaunch-signup example to launch his startup site. Follow on Twitter Follow the project on Twitter: @rails_apps . Introduction The initial app for a typical web startup announces the founders’ plans and encourages visitors to enter an email address for future notification of the site’s launch. But why build it yourself if others have already done so? eliminate effort spent building an application that meets a common need; offer code that is already implemented and tested by a large community; provide a well-thought-out app containing most of the features you’ll need.
