I have a good knowledge in HTML & CSS. I have bought a few books and read them + I have read a load of tutorials but I still can't learn...<p>Does anyone know a site or something that can teach me ror? Or if somebody here is ready to teach me? If it helps I have some knowledge of Pascal. I also read on HN daily (didn't have an account up until now) so don't think of me of a spam bot or something.<p>Thank You
