Hi All,
I'm a software developer with many years of experience developing in Visual FoxPro. I now want to learn Ruby on Rails as a current technology.
Could someone point me to a step-wise method of creating an application? I know that the first step is: rails new appname but need to know how to proceed from that first step.
Hope this makes sense, and hope to hear from y'all soon.
