Going deeper into Ruby and Rails in the post-Wagon blues

by Caio Andrade Le Wagon Teacher and Klatchian Coffee Guzzler

About this list

This list is ultimately a reflection of my own experiences growing as a developer. It’s more suitable if your career goal is to be a Ruby developer with a heavy focus on Software Engineering and the Rails stack. It deepens what you're familiar with after finishing Le Wagon.

The golden advice

Build things. If you're practicing by yourself, find a problem you want to solve. Be it a page component you're interested in (a navbar that hides on a threshold) or an entire, but simple, app (a downscaled Evernote clone), it's important to have clear goals and to be able to see the results of your work.

Courses

design resources

fonts & typography

remember : don't use more than 2 or 3 fonts (well, if you're a designer, you'll know what to do with more fonts), and never, please, never include Comic Sans MS in those 3 fonts.

google fonts : free & ready to use on the web
adobe fonts : not free, but a ton of stuff, if you're willing to dive into design, may be worth it
font awesome : icons as fonts
typography cheatsheet : this is just because I can't help myself but put some typography knowledge in all the resources I give.
font pair : helps you pairing fonts together
typo samples : samples of fonts in action together

My WSL Setup

Download & Install the WSL

Follow the very thorough instructions here

Download Hyper.js here - I went with the 'hyperblue' theme.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
