The promise of rails, as a framework, is to give a significant lift to productivity. However, the most challenging thing about a novel framework is that it is a system of parts that you can't use effectively without an understanding of the components.


This guide does an excellent job of getting you oriented and effective in the framework of RoR. It's not the be-all end-all in ruby or rails, but it will get you at least being productive in a structured way so that you are efficient with your learning time and have a mental framework for moving on to bigger, better, more intense.
