I rolled my eyes when I read the title expecting another compendium of codeacademy-like resources which get you started and then leave you out to dry. I'm finally beginning to feel like I'm actually learning to code by doing pretty much exactly what you described!

I'm glad it was helpful. I'm as sick of those empty posts as you are :)

I should note that I was doing these things before I read the article but this post helps to reassure me that I'm on the right track. I glanced at the article about learning Rails and also found the RailsTutorial book to be a great resource even for a beginner like myself given its "dive in and start doing realistic projects" nature.
