For ideas on what to study next, you could take a look at my list of learning resources that I've been building up over these two years: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs

Here's a list of mostly Ruby and Rails learning resources that I've been building up, using it to keep track of my own learning path: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs. I hope it gives you some ideas!

Set goals. Identify one or two areas where you want to improve, and focus on those. For me it helps that I already have lots to choose from in my "Learning Ruby" list, which I've been building up for the past two years.

For lots more suggested resources, see this list which I've been keeping up since I started learning Ruby two years ago: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs

If you're starting from zero knowledge of Rails, I think the best starting point is the Rails for Beginners video series by GoRails. Then after that you can branch out to more specific tutorials (e.g. Stripe, like someone already mentioned), and at some point it'd be good to dive deeper into Ruby and Rails (here's a list of resources that I've made for that).

Rails for Beginners by GoRails is an amazing (and free!) way to learn the basics, but as a beginner myself I've found that a lot of the content on GoRails is a bit too advanced to be immediately useful. I've been keeping a list of resources that have been helpful to me, which may be useful to you: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs

Rails for Beginners by GoRails is a great intro that doesn't take long. From there, googling "rails + graphql" should get you the rest of the way. If you want to firm up your Ruby or Rails knowledge after that, see the resources I've listed at https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs.

I've been compiling a list of resources ever since I started learning Ruby two years ago: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs. It's long but I try to include only resources that I really liked, or (in the case of to-do items) that look compelling.

Here's my roadmap that I keep up to date: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby-and-cs. I started learning Ruby two years ago, and earlier this year I got my first dev job in Rails.

Here are a bunch of learning resources that I've been compiling into a list, which may be useful to you. They're not organized by concept like you propose, but for me the easiest way to learn was to do a tutorial/book or two, then build a project, then repeat. That way I learned the concepts without having to map them out, though I've made lots of notes on different concepts along the way.

If you are interested in contributing to open source and helping your local communities I'd recommend checking out human essentials a project that is helping over 3 million children a year and over 400k period supply recipients. Another great one is casa which is helping Court Appointed Special Advocates throughout the US -- an organization that serves foster youths. Both of these are 100% volunteer-run and supported and are provided to non-profits free of charge.

CASA

come check out ruby for good(you want the slack link at the bottom of the page). We are a community of ruby developers working on nonprofit web systems. I'm a part of the CASA(part of the foster care system) team. We meet every wednesday night on zoom.

Overall my experience was full of fun. For ruby developers the ‘Ruby for Good’ community is a great place to be. If you would like to contribute to CASA here is the GitHub link. If you have any questions DM me or leave a comment. Finally, I just want to say to new developers, don’t wait to start contributing to open source projects. It's a better way to learn and grow.
