glu.ttono.us — This is for designers who are going to be working with Rails and is intended to give them a good starting point to jump into work with a Rails developer. This is all introductory material. Basics are covered (MVC, locations of files) as well as a code example and more advanced topics (partials, ActionView helpers).

Many people have posted and dugg many articles and how-tos but Kevin Clark has many articles, including this one that clearly explains many aspects of Rails for those of us not specifically coming from a object-oriented background. Thanks again Kevin and keep posting!

This is a decent beginner's level article. Some of the others are even better.

And how do these "designers" preview their layout in rhtml files files? All those escape sequences don't render too well in browsers and HTML editors, so they're stuck working through an app server. Sounds fine if you're coming from PHP, ASP, or JSP, but it doesn't have to be that way...<a class="user" href="http://wicket.sourceforge.net/">http://wicket.sourceforge.net/</a>

I stone-cold teabagged Kevin late one night a few weeks ago. Also, his Rails article is sweet.

N8than,It's true, using vanilla Rails you'd need to preview through an app server, but fortunately Rails comes with a built in ruby server. If you're running rails (which is an incredibly easy install) then it's just a matter of starting up the server, which is one command on the command line or a double click. There are also alternatives like Liquid (by Tobias Luetke) which has a previewer (Vision) which comes bundled.
