​17 Best Resources For Rails Developer<br />

Rails development is becoming more and more popular every day. One of the main reasons<br />

behind this pattern is its dynamic group of supporters, who do their best to take the industry to<br />

the next level. It is extremely popular among startups that want to develop web apps as fast as<br />

possible. Nowadays, more than half a million websites are using Ruby on Rails. Among them<br />

are some great websites like Airbnb and Shopify.<br />

If you happen to have an interesting and unique app idea that you want to create, but do not<br />

want to spend thousands on hiring a professional team, then it is time to start learning rails<br />

development.<br />

There are plenty of educational resources available online that can help you learn how to build<br />

web apps. Learning RoR online is the fastest and the most effective way to create a web app on<br />

your own.<br />

Here are 17 best resources for Rails developer like blogs, online courses, tutorials, tools and<br />

community support. The list includes both free and paid resources.<br />
