      <title>Where to begin in learning Ruby on Rails</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have had a number of people ask me recently about how to get started with Rails.  Of course there is &lt;a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html"&gt;the Rails Book&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/index.html"&gt;Pickaxe Book&lt;/a&gt;.  But in addition to these, Digital Media Minute has compiled a helpful &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1816/top-ruby-on-rails-tutorials"&gt;list of 12 tutorials&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which they have found to be the most useful in getting started.  Beginning from the top of list, and following links according to your questions and interests should take you a long way.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Within these tutorials, you will even find discussion of &lt;a href="http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RDT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.radrails.org/"&gt;RadRails&lt;/a&gt; , the plugins which enable you to do Rails development in widely popular open-source &lt;span class="caps"&gt;IDE&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.eclipse.org/"&gt;Eclipse&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.radrails.org/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.radrails.org/images/radrails.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
