You will be helped to the degree you put effort in.

Start in small steps. The first step is to learn how to make a “hello
world” type app. Go do that.

I presume that you are a beginner with rails. First work right
through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org, which is free to
use online. That will show you the basics of rails. Also look a the
Rails Guides.

I have also added pages on Ruby on Rails to my web site at
http://www.jasonhsu.com/ror . I’m not that much more experienced than
you
are, so I have to take good notes on the proper procedures.

My Ruby on Rails pages cover the material that most other Ruby on Rails
web
sites gloss over, such as how to install RVM in Debian Stable, how to
install the JavaScript Runtime, and how to graduate beyond the training
wheels phase. (I consider SQLite and free Heroku accounts to be Ruby on
Rails on training wheels. They’re essential for newbie learning
exercises,
but they don’t cut it for serious apps.)

I previously made an unsuccessful attempt to learn Ruby on Rails. Some
essential prerequisites:

  1. Experience with object-oriented programming (which I gained from
    Python)
  2. Experience with an easier web framework (which I gained from Drupal)
  3. Familiarize yourself with Ruby first. A good project that makes use
    of
    Ruby will motivate you to really learn it.
  4. Have a good project in mind that requires Ruby on Rails. Learning
    for
    the sake of learning doesn’t work for me, as I don’t get fully engaged.

Some tips:

  1. Don’t try to learn too many things all at once. You’ll get
    confused.
    Just focus on one thing at a time (like deployment, Postgres, etc.).
  2. Don’t spend too much time initially on the big tutorial at
    railstutorial.org. I think I spent too much time on this initially. I
    plan to revisit it multiple times.

There is a ready to use repository
on http://www.opensourcerails.com/selfstarter/ which is really similar
to
kickstarter.
Given you have a basic understanding of rails this will get you really
far.

I agree with the premise here, but I would point out that Drupal is a
CMS, not a framework. Look at CodeIgniter or Symphony or CakePHP for
examples of frameworks. One of those could be used to build Drupal,
but the inverse would never be possible.

I think some people tend to have a different definition of Framework.
While I’ll agree you are right, in some peoples eyes you could consider
Drupal a framework to your site if you expand it extensively and such
even
though technically most programmers would not consider it as such. I’ve
seen many people mix that up to an extent.
