Update: This guide was promoted by the Envy lab guys (they made the screencast) through email. Apparently their site has had over 107,000 unique visitors! And now back to the post…

Hi again! Over the past few days I’d been trying to get people who have never done any programming to give Rails for Zombies a go.

Having completed it – I figured for people with less time than myself or finding it difficult may still want to learn the general concepts and would be put off if they hit any hurdles along the way. So to make it easier for everyone, I’ve created Rails for Zombies Lab guides.

I’m predominately a front-end developer (so HTML, CSS and JavaScript is my forte) and I cant say that I’m the best person to explain Rails, however with I have a good grasp of the concepts and have tried my best to explain it all.

Below are all the videos – let me know what you think, if you have any corrections, suggestions or questions.  Enjoy!

PS.  You should watch each in full screen/HD mode for best results.
