This is the sixth edition of Michael Hartl's long-running Ruby on Rails Tutorial, rebuilt for Rails 6 while keeping the step-by-step teaching style that has introduced thousands of developers to real-world Rails work since 2010. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has called it his "favorite book" on the subject.

What Changed for Rails 6

Because Rails' core concepts have stayed fairly stable since Rails 4, most of the underlying lessons haven't needed a rewrite — but this edition folds in the changes that matter for modern apps: Yarn and Webpack integration, the unified form_with helper in place of the older form methods, and a rebuilt image-upload walkthrough using Active Storage, ImageMagick, and Amazon S3.

Format

The material spans an 883-page ebook (available as HTML, PDF, EPUB, and MOBI) paired with roughly 20 hours of video that walks through the reasoning behind each step — the kind of detail that's hard to capture in text alone.

Content is kept current with newer Rails point releases, including 6.0.3, with matching Gemfile guidance for anyone following along.

Additional

MAY 8: I’ve just updated the Ruby on Rails Tutorial to use the latest version of Rails, Rails 6.0.3.

If you want to use this new version of Rails, you’ll need to edit your Gemfile to match the corresponding reference Gemfile and then run bundle update in your project directory.

Also book was updated for this version!
