a few months ago someone recommended grabbing gemcutter from github to  
review for best practices techniques.  
anyone know of some other quality sites that are on github as an  
example of best practices?

just a noob trying to learn…

Hey Dan,

If you are looking to gain some experience I would check out  
[http://www.railsmentors.org/](http://www.railsmentors.org/) and see if you can find a mentor that would  
be  
willing to work with you! Might be easier then just looking at code,  
unless  
you prefer that way of learning.

i usually learn by thrashing around trying everything under the sun  
until it works  
then try to repeat the process while whittling it down to bare  
essentials  
needless to say, its not efficient

i did not know of rails mentors, so thanks for that!

I think that this [http://github.com/assaf/ruby-in-practice](http://github.com/assaf/ruby-in-practice) can help  
you.
