A Vanilla Rails Stack Is Plenty
- jmarchello 2y agoRails has so much to offer these days, going vanilla really is a viable (and enjoyable) option. Here at Swivel we use the ENTIRE rails stack from Hotwire to Kamal and it is so simple and easy to maintain and deploy. I do think there are use cases where adding a React frontend is good though. But you don't have to, Rails has everything you need so you can focus on creating value for customers instead of plumbing.
- thelastgallon 2y agoWhat are some good resources to get started on Rails for a complete newbie?
- jmarchello 2y agoThey actually just released a new, rubust getting started guide that is an EXCELLENT place to start learning the framework: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html https://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html. I highly recommend starting there.
- chris12321 2y agoThe new getting started guide is great. Chris Oliver is a great teacher. Afterwards, if you want a 102-style tutorial, I'm a big fan of https://www.hotrails.dev/ https://www.hotrails.dev/. It goes step by step and explains how Hotwire works and how to use it.
