Hi, I have absolutely no web programming experience (know basic html and have some ancient c++ experience) and am interested in learning Ruby on Rails to get me going quickly. What''s the best way to approach learning rails for an absolute newbie? I''ve looked through the tutorials available through the Ruby on Rails site, and even these are just beyond my level. Thanks, John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around mail.yahoo.com

Starting to get a little dated - especially with release of Rails 1.1 but still ''The Bible'' of Rails Craig
