Hey reddit, I hope that this post not only informs, but inspires. I also invite feedback from Sr engineers. I'm not famous (not yet anyway). I'll get straight to it.

As the title says, I learned Rails from absolute scratch. No prior programming language knowledge. Though I did drop out of a Visual Basic class at a local community college in 2010.

I started with the desire to have my own startup last year. I just had an idea on my couch. I would say that I didn't know where to turn, but that's not quite true.

The truth is I didn't know where the fuck to turn! Everybody talks about mobile apps this and mobile apps that, so I started by trying to learn to make Android apps. Did some research (Google) and found out they were made in Java. I picked up from the bookstore and got to studying.

I just knew that now that I had this book, understanding programming would be the easiest thing I'd ever done. Understanding programming was the hardest thing I'd ever done. There were many times where I wanted to give up. I made it 1/3 through the book and made very little headway.

Then I discovered an article that said that making a web application would be easier/faster and more cost-effective than a mobile app. Not sure if that's true, but I'm so glad I went with it. I dug a little bit deeper (with Google). That's when I discovered the Ruby on Rails framework. It was supposed to make web development fast.

I found on Youtube and watched it. I agree with what he says, though I still don't see how it's possible to learn Ruby on Rails in one month, even in a bootcamp. I began to learn Ruby on Rails through. I struggled about halfway through the book before I just gave up. It got to the point where I was just copying and pasting the code and had no idea what I was doing.

Fortunately, by this point coding became something like a fun little hobby of mine. I decided to check out and worked my way through the HTML & CSS course. After about 2 weeks of working through that course (mind you, I did not finish it. Only 42%), I signed up for Lynda.com and did the HTML Essential Training course by Bill Weinman. It was very helpful in understanding the web. I was so motivated by my progress that I then did several CSS courses and got started on a Javascript course that I never finished.

During all of this, I took notes (real, physical notes) and did a lot of coding with paper and pen. No syntax highlighting. No autocomplete.

Then I would type it up in a basic text editor (Notepad on Windows7) to test myself. I wrote one site using the HTML and CSS skills I acquired and after about 2 months of that, I said, what the hell, and tried Hartl's book again. It finally clicked! I could now see what Ruby on Rails was. The reason it was so difficult before was because I couldn't differentiate between HTML, CSS, and Ruby injections. I also knew how to reference the files and where they would go if I wasn't using Rails.

That meant that the only thing left for me to learn was what a Ruby injection was. It's Ruby code. Learning Ruby was actually easy at this point because Ruby's syntax is a lot easier to remember than Java's, though I like to write in Java still, because it's harder for non-developers to read, which makes me look smart. I binged watched these courses on Lynda.com: • HTML Essential Training (Bill Weinman) • CSS Fundamentals (James Williamson) • Foundations of Programming: Object Oriented Design (Simon Allardice) • Ruby Essential Training (Kevin Skoglund) • Ruby on Rails 4 Essential Training (Kevin Skoglund) I want to make it clear that for about six months I made it a point to get in at least 1 hour of learning to program for at least five nights out of the week. There were a lot of days where I would study for 3.5 to 4 hours. As I mentioned earlier, I began this whole endeavor with a startup in mind. Now that I was around 6 months in, tutorials were kind of getting repetitive and becoming less helpful to my mission.

What I had to do was watch a tutorial and figure out how I could change what I needed to change to make it fit into my project. I started to google more and more Rails material. I ended up reading through half of the. Then I found these really helpful tutorials my, and not a moment too soon! By now, it's the end of 2014 and there's a TEDx event coming up where I live (imagine that!).

It was a great event and I made just a couple connections and found out about two key things: 1) 1 Million Cups - a weekly event where entrepreneurs present their businesses and get support and awareness in their communities. 2) Kansas City Startup Village - a community of densely positioned startups that go out of their way to help anyone and everyone trying to break out in the startup world and disrupt the scene. I did a presentation at my local 1MC and finally was getting ready for launch.

I was also reading and on the side. I ran into some bumps in the code-road and since I was the only person I knew who programmed, I could see the value of being part of the startup community in Kansas City — even if it was 800 miles away. With relatively short notice, I tried my luck and moved up to KC. That was the turning point.

Being around other developers made it easy to ask questions and look at code written by other people. I realized that, for at least a good while, it's normal not to be the very best developer in the world. Everyone has to learn to make workarounds for what they're trying to accomplish and oftentimes projects don't go as straightfoward as you write them out initially. Just thought I'd add my story here as well so that any beginners can see another success story. I started learning web dev last November and signed a job contract as a software developer in April.

I was unemployed at the time and starting out in a new country. I didn't like the job prospects in my established career field, so I wanted to try out web dev. I didn't know how I would actually get a job in the end.

I didn't know if anything I taught myself would be of any value to an employer here, but I just tried to focus on taking one step at a time. I started out with the last November for a couple weeks. Then, I did One Month Rails. I kept doing any free rails tutorial I could find on the web and Ruby tutorials like Codecademy's Ruby course or RubyMonk. All while I was doing this I was documenting it in a blog, on github and establishing an profile on twitter. I was almost ready to do an online bootcamp like Tealeaf or Thefirehoseproject (and did their free precourse work), but then I applied to a 3-mo jr RoR dev internship with only about 1.5 months of programming experience.

(I guess this was really lucky to find, but it wasn't the only one out there.). Having a 'what could I lose? What's the worse they could possibly say to me?' Attitude helped actually get me to apply while I felt completely inadequate. What got me the internship was my drive for learning to code and the visible effort I had already put in that I could show an employer since it was documented in my blog and github. My boss wasn't looking for someone that was a super knowledgeable coder, but someone that was teachable, eager to learn, and motivated.

I worked really hard during my internship, plus I studied (and still do) outside of work. I also volunteered to coach at a local RailsGirls coding event. In April, as my internship was nearing its end, I was offered a full-time job contract to stay on at my current employer. I'm incredibly happy to be a coder. I have a ton more to learn; I'm challenged every single day, but I feel more fulfilled in this career than I did in my previous one. So far I've been offered two internships, one of which fell through (after I was paid) and the other I turned down, as I was leaving Kansas City.

For the second internship, though, I would have had to be doing primarily AngularJS, which I'm not sharp with. Just thought I'd make that point. I've gotten approached about a lot of web development; not just Rails. At the same time, I was recommended for another Rails job. Just this week, I got a approached by someone who just got funding for their startup and wanted to see if I could be their developer (their project sounds a little over my head though). And then earlier today, I did a job interview that I was recommended for (because of me talking about startups).

There's a church that wants their site completely redone and they want their content managed. Oh, how I love churning out static page sites! Consider them low-hanging fruit, if you will.

**It also happens that I've done 2 blogs, written content for another blog, and wrote 2 books, so I guess that's a plus when it comes to clients who want the content of the site written for them. So I'm not rich yet, and I don't even have a stream of steady income, but as you can see I've started something here.
