If you found your way here, you likely already know a bit about Rails and why you want to learn it. Before we go any further though, it’s worth quickly mentioning the difference between Ruby and Ruby on Rails for those unaware.

Ruby is a programming language first released in the mid-90’s that most people find to be extremely easy to learn and fun to code with.
