Learn Ruby on Rails - Part 1 - Project Setup and Planning

Today we kick off our series on Ruby on Rails. Over the course of this series, we're going to be creating an application to manage recipes and generate weekly meal plans for us based on our recipes. We're going to tackle this from start to finish learning new features of Rails as we make progress.

Start to finish includes project creation, using version control (git), and also casting a vision for our application up front so that we know that we're building the right thing. In this video, we will create a Rails application that will run in Docker, store our source code on Github, and start laying out our project's plan using the "Projects" feature of Github.

The best Docker & Rails setup video! Looking forward to the rest!

Hey, I love your tutorials learning a lot and I'm very grateful. One thing I would say for future vids is to perhaps pause for a moment after writing a command and before executing it. I find myself trying to pause the video at the second when the whole command is written out but before you hit enter.

at 3:28 did you mean to do rails install within the docker container instead of on local machine?

I think we needed to run the initial `gem install rails` after doing the `docker run` with an `-it` flag.

thanks a lot for the tutorial. I noticed the blog link doesn't work because of "p...tup" instead of "project-setup" in the url

Get to 9:02 in the video and I get a error message in the console of "Could not find mini_portile2-2.2.0 in any of the sources". Container seems to spin up because I can see something running when I type "docker ps" but, I still get 'This site can’t be reached' when I go to localhost:3000.
