I am a retired computer programmer interested in learning rails web production frame work.

Even though I have years of experience in procedural programming languages (remember FORTRAN, COBOL, PASCAL, BASIC)  I am making the transition to Object Oriented Programming. Though experienced in ASP.Net, I am new to Rails and Ruby.

I was hoping to find a book in wiki books on Rails 3, and found some stubs. I would like to write a book for instructing myself on how to learn rails, basically a note book where i would keep a record of the trials and tribulations of learning new system. Computing knowledge is always out of date. I wiki book is the ideal way to keep up with new versions of the software.

A lot of materials I have been using are out of date with new versions of rails and ruby. They give a beginner fits when the source code fails to compile.

To learn rails you probably need to learn:

RVM GIT Rspec Unix (Bash shell) Ruiby Jquery Javascript CSS HTML
