Treehouse Quiz Wizard

Hey guys,

I'd like to program a wizard that is similar to the Treehouse Quiz after watching a Stage. Can someone help me with that? Or maybe the Treehouse Team could upload a Tutorial on that ? I really lack some information about styling (theming) in ruby on rails. How would i do such wizard in Rails that looks as nice as the Treehouse' one.

cheers, Dominic

Hi Dominic Elm,

If you just want to learn about styling, you should check out our new Deep Dive on CSS. It has just about everything you could possibly need or want to know. :)

Here's the link to CSS Foundations

Well, it's not just Styling but more the Theming in Ruby on Rails. I mean how to provide very nice looking Templates in Rails.

Another Thing is that i dont know how i would reach the Goal of a Quiz Wizard like yours. Maybe some help on that?

Hi Dominic Elm,

As far as I know, Rails doesn't really have the same "theme" concept that you find in something like WordPress. It's more so a back-end web framework that's intended to be more versatile than that. In other words, anything you might consider using with a static website would be a good candidate for Rails as well. Bootstrap 3 was released yesterday, and I highly recommend going with that if you haven't checked it out already.

As for reaching the goal state of a quiz, I'm not really sure I can offer the best advice there. I'm pinging some other people that might know better than me. :)

I know Jason Seifer and Mat Helme are working on more design oriented content with Rails coming up in the coming months.
