I’m learning Rails by implementing an online version of the game  
Pente. I thought I’d blog about the process since I always learn  
better when I have to “teach” someone else what I’ve learned, and it  
never hurts to have another resource out there for new Rails  
developers. I am also hoping by getting feedback from the community I  
can enhance my learning and maybe even spark some discussion.

I started by posting an introductory article linking to the resources  
I’ve found the most helpful, and posting some articles on the design  
decisions I made before starting the project. I’ll be posting regular  
updates as the project progresses. I’ll start out doing pretty  
detailed step-by-step articles, and slowly leave more up to the  
reader. At the end I’ll post articles documenting the deployment  
process as well. The idea is that if a new developer read the articles  
from beginning to end they would be as comfortable with Rails as I  
will hopefully become.

I hope you’ll take a look! I welcome any feedback and comments.
