I love the rails logo, but does it remind anyone else of "Day Of The Tentacle" from Lucasarts?

Damn! You're so right. I loved that game and from now on will look at the Rails logo in a new light.

It would be cool if there was a slightly modified version for this group though. I don't think it looks quite right.

ATTENTION NEW YORK RUBY PROGRAMMERS:
So I'm just a CSS editor for this company ready to unveil a new site called PeoplesMD. They are moving their project base from CA to NY, and are looking for a Ruby Programmer since the site is going to be completely coded in Ruby. This is a great opportunity for professional work. I knew about this group and they wanted me to post the job here to reach more people. Here is the link to the official craigslist ad:http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/eng/318825058.html

p.s. -sorry if your not supposed to post jobs on here, im not too sure about that

I've already worked through a few RoR books but seem to have some trouble grasping . I've boughten Programming Ruby, as I figured a knowledge of Ruby in general will help me learn RoR. Any other suggestions?

Hey buddy, I been working in Rails recently and am LOVING IT. Check out the Agile Web Development book, that one helped me a lot more than others.

skip agile web development, and get the Rails Way, and get the Ruby way. they both are extremely detailed...and not only give you a great knowledge of rails and ruby conventions, but tell you WHY things are done the way they are...following most conventions are important...but knowing when to break the rules is important too...

Cool site, but the sidebar is dominating it. font-size overload.

Brandn says:

Does anyone want to help me develop some "simple case" tutorials of different things that you might want to do?

I've found that information comes generally in two different forms in the Rails community
1. Tutorial of a project (like the Agile Rails Development book)
2. Highly technical information about special circumstances (usually in blogs)
3. Difficult to practically USE rails API documentation

The best way that I learn is through simple examples on the concepts involved, which is a level of explanation I find sorely lacking.

For instance, I am now very good at doing migrations and setting up has_one and belongs_to and has_many and belongs to relationships and configuring the administration of those relationships very easily using collection_select. I pretty much think I can write a fairly comprehensive explanation of that.

What I'd like, though, is information about setting up a HABTM relationship (for instance, categories or tags related to an entry) and administrating that relationship through a check_box that iterates through the collection of categories. It seems like a simple enough thing, but the Rails API check_box info doesn't deal with HABTM relationships specifically, and I can't really figure it out.

Anyway I'd like to start a conversation about this, and maybe work on building a set of article for the intermediate "I don't need to read another 'Getting started with rails' tutorial, but I'm not a freaking wizard yet" level Rails guy (that's me!).

i'm with you brandn - i find that rails info/tutorials seem to jump from super basic to very detailed concepts that leave out bits and pieces that i haven't learned yet - some of my questions are often so simple, yet i spend hours trying to find any info on how to answer them

czheng says:

http://railsforum.com has some good tutorials, and the moderators are really very helpful. i'm working on my very first app, learning as I go, and they've done a great job of answering my questions and helping me model the app. It's also a great learning experience just to read through it every few days and see how other people are solving their problems.

i second that about railsforum and those that answer questions there - great help!

Anyone have some websites/aps they've made with Rails to share!? I have one in the pipeline at the moment but it's way too early to link up. Anyone know what Virb's running on?

Marston says:

I'm fairly certain Virb is built off Rails (I think I found the link to virb on the RubyInsider Network). We have an app up at http://www.sugarstats.com, its for online diabetes management for diabetics. We're in private-beta at the moment and have been in development for about a year. I'm loving Rails and must say I don't think I could have done it in any other language.

here's a RoR project i launched not too long ago: http://tifah.com - we're still adding new sections to the site and cms, but it's all custom built with Rails. I'm hoping to be able to use the cms with other clients after it's fully built out.

Jordan says:

Marston and Karlbright--it's not RoR, I believe it's simplyPHP and MySQL powered.
