Ask HN: I need a paid rails tutor

6 points| capex | 12 years ago | reply

Hi HN, I am a hobby developer with an idea. I need someone who can teach me how to build my idea in Rails. So far, I've gone through Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl, and still have no idea how to go about building a real world app.

Anyone having the time to help me?

When I first started with rails I went through Michael Hartl tutorial too. I found it great for teaching me the syntax and the workflow. In future projects, I just planned out what features I'd need and then searched http://railscasts.com/ for episodes which did what I wanted. There are over 400 and a great starting point! The only way to really learn programming is by trail and error. The more things you try the better you'll get. The best $9/month you'll spend! I would normally have the episodes open while working on my project, and just pause/play as I went through.

Railscasts is fantastic. That's what I am using to learn Devise and other devious gems.

You're in luck! One Month Rails teaches you how to build your idea while you learn to code:

If he's finished Michael Hartl's tutorial, I think he's already past One Month Rails (It references Michael Hartl as a "what's next" item).

That said, potentially seeing a different application (A Pinterest clone) might help understand the differences and therefore the foundations of an application.
