Question

I am doing a project on creating a lab application for a next generation sequencing data using ruby on rails.

The main idea my boss suggests me to do is to have users fill in their details and submit to us. After the submission, the administrator, i.e. me, would send them a password which they can use to login my application. could some one help me with the idea of development. I am naive to ruby on rails and would be very grateful for people who help me.

thank you and cheers

Answer 1

I would start with Michael Hartl’s RailsTutorial. Not only did I find it the best way to get started – the application he builds includes a bombproof user security model, just as you require, and so you’d be both learning and developing something relevant at the same time.

I’d also recommend buying the videos, as well as the book. They make all the difference.
