   Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial is still among the best https://www.railstutorial.org/

   Rails is opinionated but its opinions are often correct!

   Start here, friend: https://www.railstutorial.org/

   It looks like maybe it's paid now, I don't know. Hartl's tutorial was my introduction to ruby, rails, and TDD all in one go. It's a great tutorial, he's a great instructor. I would recommend anyone to start there. If it's paid, in hindsight, I would have paid quite a lot for the tutorial the first round. (Also, maybe you can find an archived version and learn with an older rails, if money is a concern?)

   Ruby felt easy for me to pickup. I think Rails was harder to learn than Ruby.

   Have fun!

   Edit: Also, a bunch of rails nerds were talking in here today, maybe they left some thoughts about how they started: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38248421

   Not sure if you are searching for videos or books, however here's one resource: Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Web Development with Rails (https://www.railstutorial.org/). If you don't have $$ to purchase it, the book is available on LibGen.

   Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Rails Tutorial is pretty good:

   https://www.railstutorial.org/

   Closer to what you want is Free Code Camp, which is pretty good for front end stuff:
