This is a website and GitHub repository for open source Ruby on Rails example apps and Rails tutorials.
It spans the gap between Ruby on Rails tutorials for beginners and the piecemeal advice found on experts’ blogs.
Here’s what you can do:
- follow the Rails tutorials and examine the code to to see examples of complete working Rails 3.2 web applications
- download code (“clone a repository”) to customize an app for your own use
- use an application template to generate a ready-made starter app
- modify an application template to make your own custom starter app

- Follow the project on Twitter: @rails_apps. Tweet some praise if you like what you’ve found.
- Add +RailsApps to your Google+ circles for updates.
