What did you do to get good at Rails?

In order...

1. Got good at Ruby (read the pickaxe cover-to-cover).
2. Read a Rails tutorial (AWDwR).
3. Found a cooperative commercial client to write an actual application for (and billed him at reduced rates because I was learning).
4. Found every forum I could online to find people asking questions, then researched (mainly in the Rails source) and answered questions I was pretty sure of. Waited for others to answer questions I wasn't sure of and checked my answers against theirs.

Who taught you what you know?

Chapter 2

Each one builds on the previous, ie. I re-use constants defined earlier.

Hours in a year

HOURS_IN_DAY = 24
DAYS_IN_YEAR = 365.242199
HOURS_IN_YEAR = HOURS_IN_DAY * DAYS_IN_YEAR

puts "Hours in an astronomical year: #{HOURS_IN_YEAR}"
