Guys Im trying to do some ruby on rails stuff for interfaceing with some unix commands from a ui. Im using the streamlined framework and it creates everything i need for the ui side but im having problems trying to capture data that is added to tables so i can create commands to execute. What would be a decent ruby book to buy? i already have the rails cookbook but im looking for something that covers more of the command side and describes the methods available in ruby. Off to the bookstore when i get a response.

And of course ''Programming ruby'' if it''s the ruby bits rather than the rails stuff you want. http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Ruby-Pragmatic-Programmers-Second/ dp/0974514055 On 2 Oct 2007, at 16:42, William Pratt wrote:> > Agile Web Development with Rails 2nd Ed > http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Web-Development-Rails-2nd/dp/0977616630/ > > Brent Brent wrote: >> Guys >> >> Im trying to do some ruby on rails stuff for interfaceing with some >> unix commands from a ui.

Given what you specified. I would also recommend "Programming Ruby" On Oct 2, 11:04 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> And of course ''Programming ruby'' if it''s the ruby bits rather than > the rails stuff you want.http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Ruby-Pragmatic-Programmers-Second/ > dp/0974514055 > On 2 Oct 2007, at 16:42, William Pratt wrote: > > > > > Agile Web Development with Rails 2nd Ed > >http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Web-Development-Rails-2nd/dp/0977616630/ > > > Brent Brent wrote: > >> Guys > > >> Im trying to do some ruby on rails stuff for interfaceing with some > >> unix commands from a ui.

It''s a really good book. Ruby Cookbook by Lucas Carlson is also really good.

I subscribe to Safari on oreilly.com, which lets you have 10 electronic books at one time for $9.95 / month. You can switch books out after you''ve had them for awhile. What''s good about that is that after you''ve learned something, you can switch those books out for something new you''re learning. I found the $9.95 option hard to find when I signed up -- they really want you to do the $19.95 / month option. 10 books has been enough for me though.
