Not much I can say except that I am very excited to enter this new  
world(solely for me of course, kind of late) of rubyonrails.If anyone  
has any patience or just plain kindness to help me on my first steps  
(leaps?) , I would greatly appreciate any links, references, tips,  
hellos, or whatever else is offered.  
Thanks ahead of time,

Hi Shai,

Welcome… I guess the first port of call is the Wiki on  
[www.rubyonrails.org](http://www.rubyonrails.org). There are lots of things on there to keep you  
interested. Also there are many tutorials on blogs etc.

Ruby skills are a must have and there are various docs on the  
[www.ruby-lang.org](http://www.ruby-lang.org) site.

If you after a book to really get you started, there are a couple of  
very  
good ones.  
Agile Web D. On Rails 2nd Ed.  
[http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/)

Also David Blacks book, Ruby for Rails is an excellent title.

> NEWER EDITION AVAILABLE

> The Well-Grounded Rubyist, Second Edition is now available. An eBook of the previous edition, The Well-Grounded Rubyist is included at no additional cost when you buy the revised edition!

Other than that Google is your friend.

Good Hunting.
