Rails for designers

Rails can be difficult to get to grips with. I am still having trouble. Kevin Clark has come to the rescue.

Kevin Clark has put together a wonderful little article on Rails aimed at designers. It covers the parts important to the rendering of pages. It is an excellent starting point even if you aren’t a designer.

Layout

Not as soon as I had hoped. Here are some useful resources I have come across on my travels that I found very helpful.

I have never really had any training in graphic design and as such am always trying to improve the way I design. Garret Dimon has written a nice article at YourTotalSite which gives some useful tips for design on the web.

Mark Boulton is another person who has some very useful wisdom to share. Mark has written a collection of articles on the subject of layout for print and the web. Since reading them I have applied the knowledge only to find that the whole process was quicker, more enjoyable and produced great results.

Here’s a list of Mark’s articles.

I hope you find them as useful as I did.
