Avoid these 9 mistakes when learning Ruby on Rails
Are you learning Ruby on Rails? If you’re like me, you’ve probably made many mistakes while using the framework.
I still make these mistakes today, but as I’ve learned more about the framework, it’s more obvious why they are common among developers looking to build an app and make something work.
Once your ideas come to life, you realize you might have sometimes coded yourself into corners. I hope this list of mistakes will help you navigate your learning process.

Thanks for chiming in!
Thanks for the advice. Your tutorial on hellorails is on my todo list 🙂 even though I have some experience, I want to go a step back and check everything again in a guided way from the basics....

Glad I could help!
I was preparing myself to start a bootcamp. I can already create projects using React. When I was selecting the bootcamp Spiced is offering React and LeWagon Ruby on Rails. I got confused and signed a contract to go with the bootcamp that is going with rails. Now I am really scared that I won't find a job because my main language will be Ruby. So I was preparing myself for the bootcamp and got the wrong one. I will start in 2 weeks and I know almost nothing about RoR.

Being versed in React will always get you a job. Rails is definitely more niche but I think that's changing. It's tough to say what's the best path with tech moving so fast. I work in Rails daily but I'm actually a product designer by trade.
Bro I am having trouble getting interviewed. I think it's my mistake learning Ruby on Rails while living in ME. So basically I haven't run into production trouble yet.

Are you looking for roles locally or remote or both? I know opportunities are a dime a dozen.

@@Webcrunch Hey, I am ruby on rails developer too and also from ME, and yes, as mosaka1471 said, there is no opportunity for us. I applied for a lot of jobs and I didnt get interviewed. I am looking for a remote job, it doesnt matter if it's a contract, part time, full time, ... doesnt matter at all.
