What's the best way to start with Ruby on rails?


I'm new to ruby and ruby on rails. Are there any devs here experience with both that could recommend a resource? A book, youtube series etc?

It would be really great if someone could recommend an overview of the language so I can get an idea of the syntax, and the syntax of your average rails app.

Finally I want to pair this with inertia.js. Has anyone done this in production? Does the combo work well?

The official RoR docs are really good. And the Ruby docs also have a Getting Started guide which seems fine.

Agile web development with rails by Sam Ruby is a great intro to Ruby and rails.

The Ruby in rails channel on YouTube has a playlist explaining all the new components of rails 8 called rails 8 unpacked. Things like solid queue/cache and propshaft.
