Downloading Ruby on Rails on Mac

[Danny Redden]

Hey guys, I am really brand new to computer programming and I have watched numerous videos on "where to start programming" and "what language to learn first" etc. I watched a video and it talked about how Ruby on Rails was the best language (Ruby) to learn first. I am just wanting to know how to download Ruby on Rails on Mac OS X 10.9.3. If you guys could help me out that would be awesome! Thanks!

I believe that railstutorial.org has instructions for installing on
OSX (in fact I think the author uses that). As a beginner I suggest
you actually work right through that tutorial (which is free to use
online), then you should understand the basics of Rails.

The RailsBridge InstallFest [1] and Introduction to Rails [2] tutorial documents are pretty good at exactly this sort of thing: getting your development environment installed and run through of a simple Rails app to get you going. These are the scripts we use during the live RailsBridge events, but I think they're quite useful in a stand-alone way as well. 

Hartl's RailsTutorial, as mentioned by Colin, is the most comprehensive set of tutorials for Rails going at the moment.

This question gets asked a *lot*, I mean, seriously, a *lot*. I put up my immediate response at [3], but there's a better one at [4], and if becoming a web developer is your goal, the Odin Project [5] has sorted out a lot of stuff to follow.

Great links. I wonder if this list could be setup so that the above
appears on the list home page and new subscribers are automatically
sent that it in an introductory email. That might save us some time
repeatedly responding to the same questions.

Or like a monthly FAQ mailing? 

[Colin Law]

Would that work? Those already subscribed don't need it every month,
and a new user would not see it immediately so would still ask his/her
question. Unless it was automatically sent to new users of course.

Does whoever manages the list watch it here?
