Ruby on Rails

I plan to learn Ruby on Rails. What is the ideal path to do that? HTML, CSS, JS, Ruby and Ruby on Rails? Thank you.

I'd recommend simply joining our Ruby on Rails track. It includes just enough HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for you to be able to follow along with the Rails content. Of course, there's no harm in learning additional HTML/CSS/JS once you've completed that track, but by then you'll have a much better idea which parts to focus on, because you'll know how HTML, CSS, and JS work together with Rails.

Hi Jay! Is that course complete? It seems like the videos reference a bunch of courses that were retired? Or don't exist yet? I've completed all the courses in the track, but I can't find the videos for creating a to do list app in rails or the videos referenced in "Rails Routes and Resources" that promise to break down how models, controllers, and views work on their own.

Hi, Jeff Heaton - the Ruby on Rails track? We're always working on new content for it. :) Including those courses that delve into specifics on models, views, and controllers. I believe the "Todo list app" courses did get retired, however, as they've already been replaced by more up-to-date content.

Do you remember where you saw references to the Todo list app? If we still have an active course that refers to that, we should probably get it updated.

Gotcha! The place I heard about the Todo app was in the Rails API course https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-rails-api, though in retrospect that may just be for use in the API.
