#1: Learn Rails - i would suggest a few rails cast a day

#2: Make a few sites; I will help w/ this as much as he needs

#3: As you make sites blog daily about your progress learning

Once you feel comfortable post on job sites, ODesk etc... and start building up your reputation.

my email is on profile he can email me or you (OP) can

Do you have any thoughts on this remote Rails class: http://www.gotealeaf.com/

I'd be willing to pay the tuition if it's really useful for someone who has still not ever seen/used a web browser.

It would take more information to properly determine what the best starting poing would be for him; but if he has not used a web browser I suggests starting w/

1. email setup 2. google 3. facebook

etc... basically as much basic computer usage as possible; IMO rails classes like that and pretty much everyone else is going to assume their audience is comfortable w/ computers and other modern day technologies.

So this is one of things I was specifically looking for: Exactly what does he need to learn immediately? What is the best set of tools he should experience and submerge himself with to really understand the internet, both as a consumer and as a potential creator?
