My first Ruby on Rails server 🎉

Documenting my learning journey #1

Today I started my study routine with the Ruby language and its respective Rails framework. Don't judge me! 😅 I'm using Windows at the beginning.

I faced some problems along the way and I had to fix them. Also learned how to create a server from scratch.

"tzinfo-data"
The first was that the "tzinfo" library was not being recognized. With the help of our friend StackOverFlow, I discovered that the problem was in the library definition in my Gemfile.

Finally I managed to run my first Ruby on Rails server.

Congrats and welcome! fun tip: explore rails scaffolds, they might become your favourite programming tool.

Also, I'm curious hows the experience been so far on windows? are you using wsl?

Thanks! I've already noted your tip, I'll definitely check it out.

So far I haven't had any problems caused only by using Windows. But I was told that I can have it when using third-party dependencies (example: gems and poorly written plugins).

I'm still not sure whether to change it or not, hahah
