Off the Rails…

Well that was strange!

After following some rather smashing guides for configuring your Mac for Rails, I needed a good tutorials for writing your first Rails web application. The funny thing is that if you haven’t got a web site that is database backed, most of the Hello World Rails Tutorials are pretty much no help what so ever. After the 17th Rails for Newbies tutorial, I felt like I was walking through treacle.

But then, I happened across this article, Rolling with Ruby on Rails that explained things from an HTTP request based principal, and then the database. Heaven!
