Hello Everyone - Newbie here. My programming experience is primarily SQL, SAS (if anyone knows that), and a little tiny bit of ASP. Want to get going on Rails. Any suggestions? Was thinking of "4 Days on Rails". Thoughts? Thanks - Brian

Thoughts? >Thanks - BrianWelcome Brian! I started with this book: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ rails/index.html and I read this book kind of simultaneously since I was new to Ruby: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/index.html My blog may or may not be helpful (it''s slanted a bit toward those of us coming from a Microsoft background) but if you check out the "Getting Started" and "Ruby Language" categories there might be something useful. And of course to top it off is the community-run wiki on the Rails site itself: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails Jeff www.softiesonrails.com -- Posted with http://DevLists.com.
