RoR Tutorial

At Mashup Camp 2, several people expressed an interest in a hands-on overview of Ruby on Rails (RoR) to walk through an installation of RoR and write a simple Hello World program. After I did that, there was a lot of interest in a second class to go on to more advanced topics, like how to do a simple database backed application and mashup using Google Maps and Flickr. So I developed this tutorial to show how to go through these steps.

Part 1

• RoR Setup
• Ruby Introduction
• RoR Hello From Rails App
• RoR Database App

Part 2

• RoR and Google Maps
• RoR and Flickr
