The Ruby on Rails Tutorial has been updated for Rails 6! This is the 6th edition of the tutorial that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales once called his “favorite book”. Since its release in 2010, the Ruby on Rails Tutorial has been one of the leading introductions to web development, helping thousands of people start new careers, become freelance web developers, and found companies of their own. I’m grateful for all the support!
What's New in the 6th Edition?
Fully updated for Rails 6: This new edition of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial has been completely updated to be compatible with the recently released Rails 6. The focus remains on providing a thorough introduction to web development, rather than solely covering the latest features of Rails.
Since the core functionality of Rails has remained stable since Rails 4, most of the written text and screencasts haven’t changed significantly in several years. This stability ensures that the skills you learn will remain relevant. However, this edition does feature updates, such as:
Integration of Rails with Yarn and Webpack
Use of the newer form_with method to unify form_for and form_tag
A completely rewritten section on image upload using Active Storage, ImageMagick, and Amazon S3

Scholarship Opportunities
If cost is a concern, consider applying for a Learn Enough Scholarship, which offers both free and discounted options on the Learn Enough and Rails Tutorial courses.
The name “Learn Enough” refers to the philosophy is that you don’t have learn everything about most subjects—you just have to learn enough to be dangerous. In this context, “dangerous” is meant to have a positive meaning, indicating that you are able to get things done. Part of this philosophy involves know what to leave out, at least initially. For example, some HTML tutorials cover code for submitting information, called a form, but never make forms that do anything! Whereas Learn Enough HTML to Be Dangerous doesn’t cover forms at all, because you need a full programming language in order to do anything useful. Instead, forms first get covered in Learn Enough JavaScript, where form submission is caught and handled in the browser, and then in Learn Enough Ruby, which uses the Sinatra web framework to handle form submissions on the back-end server.
