Are there any books currently available that discuss topics related more about the Rails core code than on how to ''use'' Rails? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

People do submit proposals to write about that topic, including me myself. It is a very interesting topic that in my opinion would interest most Rails developers. Since we are a notably curious community (my appreciation). I hope some book will be eventually published. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

David Black''s book "Ruby for Rails" has a chapter called ''Techniques for exploring the Rails source code'' which is the closest thing I''ve come across to what you are asking for. It is a very short chapter of only 15 pages unfortunately and so there is not a lot of hand holding through the code. -bakki On 2/17/07, Chris Hall <christopher.k.hall-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Are there any books currently available that discuss topics related > more about the Rails core code than on how to ''use'' Rails? > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think the best thing to do is to actually go through the code! Books are good to get started with something (like, learn the basics of rails), but after a certain point, you just gotta roll up your sleeves and dig in. -carl On 2/17/07, Ezra Zygmuntowicz <ezmobius-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi~ > > On Feb 17, 2007, at 12:32 PM, Chris Hall wrote: > > > > > Yeah, I have that book and have read the chapter.
