What are your opinions? TOP always comes up as a great option. Doesn’t have to be free; not new to programming.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, recommendations, or shared experiences.

This one by Evil Martians is fairly recent https://rails-tutorial.evilmartians.io/ I haven't done it, since I already know Rails very well, but I know these guys as reputable contributors to the Ruby ecosystem.

It’s the official new Getting Started but ported to a browser-based runtime powered by WebContainers, so you can complete the whole tutorial without having to install Ruby or Rails. It’s very cool!

Since you aren't new to programming, I'd say the documentation.

Try *"Rails for Beginners"* by GoRails or *"The Odin Project"* — both are up-to-date, project-based, and great for 2025.
