Getting Started with Wheels guide
Published on
Awhile ago I worked on a Getting Started with Wheels (Google Doc version) guide in Google Docs. It is based on "Getting Started with Rails". I saved from Google Docs as html then used pandoc to converted it to markdown. I am posting the guide on github for anyone to help.
