Layouts

One of the good things about using Ruby on Rails is that you can setup a basic site layout and it will automatically be applied to every page on the site.

Some useful links

By Adam Uncategorized No Comments »

In lieu of a tutorial this week, I thought I’d come up with a list of the resources I use when working on my Rails projects. There are several pages that I find myself going back to so frequently that I wanted to have them all saved in one place to find them easily. I’d recommend going over all the guides that are linked there to learn about all the different parts that make up a Rails project.

Useful Rails Resources

I put a permalink in the menu bar at the top of the page, so you can click it on any page to go to the list of resources and find a guide or tutorial to help with whatever problem you may be up against. I’ll update this page whenever I find new links to sites that I find to be useful in learning or working with Rails.
