10 years ago I would have maybe agreed. I wouldn't start with Ruby and Rails today just like I wouldn't have started with Perl 10 years ago.

Why wouldn't you start with Rails?

This looks amazing. I will be recommending from now on to people who want to learn web dev. Thanks for sharing!

Side note: As a Ruby on Rails developer, it's amazing to see so many Rails-based recommendations to the question "how to learn boring web dev?". This is exactly what Rails (and Ruby) is great at. Just get shit done quickly without the shiny things.
