Oh man! I remember reading that when I started Flatiron and was looking for perspectives on Ruby/Rails. So funny to read it again now and be just fully in agreement lol
Thanks so much for putting this together, Emily - and welcome to the Rails family. We are so happy that you're here. Likewise, if you're ever stuck...!
I'm going to share this with some folks who need it. :)
I'm so happy it might be able to help some people! Ruby and Rails may not be the coolest newest hotness, but the accessibility of it was such a good foundation for me to learn CS concepts and common programming practices that I can translate into learning so many other things.
I'll let you in on a little secret: Ruby was never about being the popular kid in town. Indeed, many folks who chase the herd will go where people tell them to go instead of listening to what makes them happy. But yeah, out of the gate the constant question was "but will it scale?" and it slowly morphed into the haters declaring it "old" and therefore, apparently, somehow bad - never mind that it's still the most productive framework for building sites people want to use. There's a reason that the founders of Shopify, GitHub, AirBnb and so many more have said that they didn't succeed despite Rails but because of it.
We figure that we're building stuff 2-5x faster than React teams, on the average.
Anyhow, Rails is always going to be cool to me. I'm someone who reads the Rails Doctrine and I get legit emotional. It's just been such an incredible force for good in my life over the past 16 years.
Ruby has always been attractive by the very brief insight I've taken on it and responses I've heard from Ruby devs. It's always been on the 'make project with tech X list'.
Same goes for Rust (which I believe holds great future potential).
The person from Webcrunch Youtube channel just posted a 2 hour long updated rails 6 video on Traversy Media channel. i am going through that right. you can include that in the list as well.

Oh that's awesome! Thanks for the recommendation!
Good start! And for Rails 6 in particular, I'd say that this is the most up-to-date course: Ruby on Rails 6: Learn 25+ gems and build a Startup MVP 2020
This is a great post for a beginner. Thank you
Here another good video as well build a blog with comments

Nothing beats Rails for Zombies tutorials
Props to Brad T on the Rails API tutorial, all his courses are so easy to follow and he keeps it all in simple terms. Love him.
Thanks Emily for curating this list and finding some free resources. I look forward to checking them out.
