This is my kick off day to start learning Ruby on Rails. This will more than likely be of no interest to anyone but myself. I plan to document some of the things I come across while learning Ruby on Rails as a reference to my future self.

I am drawing my inspiration from How a Blacksmith learned to code. Hoping I have more of a running start since I did some business app Visual Basic 6 development years ago. I really miss the feeling of knocking out code and getting something to work.

I am starting learning on a Windows 7 system. I will more than likely also do some work on Linux so that I am familiar with development on both systems. Since Windows is first using the Rails Installer from http://railsinstaller.org/en to setup the Windows system.

Decided I will start with https://bitbucket.org/ for the git setup. I choose this as I am wanting to experiment with out making things public yet. As I get more confidence and start some apps I will check out https://github.com/.

I also need to setup a dev account on https://www.heroku.com/ today.
