[Rails] Re: Would you recommend some books about Ruby on Rails?

2010-05-23 Thread AGoofin
The best book on learning Rails that I have ever read is Simply Rails
2 published by Sitepoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/rails2/?
historicredirect=rails1 ). It is laid out in a very good way and it's
the only book where I went through all the examples.

Later on I would recommend The Rails Way -http://www.rubyinside.com/
the-rails-way-by-obie-fernandez-679.html
It goes into great detail about Rails.

Remember that Rails 3.0 is just around the corner as well which is a
bit different from 2.0.

 Hi everybody~
 Vey nice to meet you on this group.

 I'm a only web service planner operating a site 
 http://topics.co.kr/categories?q=iphone
  developed by Ruby-on-Rails engineers through payment.

 But I'm trying to do study Ruby on Rails by myself from now on.

 By the way, some engineers in my country South Korea said the only
 book translated in Korean has wrong exercises now because Ruby on
 Rails is not any more version 1.x.

 So I should buy a book composed by exercise including exercises with
 version 2.x.

 First of all I hope this book [http://amzn.to/bshhvk] is like
 so(above) but I'm not sure.

 And then I hope you great engineers will recommend an appropriate book
 to me, a beginner.

 Thank you geeks.

I know my viewpoint is in the minority, but I don't recommend learning 
Rails from books -- the framework changes too fast, and paper book 
publishing just can't keep up.  Read Programming Ruby (on the Web or on 
paper), read the Rails Guides, and play around.  That's what worked for 
me (and I'm now doing high-profile Rails development at a Fortune 100 
company).

Best,
