Hi Guys, I am a beginner for Ruby On Rails Stuffs...is there a book that covers that for beginners...from what i read on http://www.rubyonrails.org/screencasts Seems like it''s easy programming.... I have experience in Dreamweaver, PHP, C++, VB & Java programming.. so i guess this shouldn''t to difficult to pick up... Dudes, any idea where I can start? Thanks..

I barely have any kind of programming experience, but trying to breath Rails. First I''d do this: http://tryruby.hobix.com/ The I''d go through this: http://poignantguide.net/ruby/chapter-2.html Then I''d start my first Rails app with Oreilly''s Up and Running with Rails, Here''s a link to the whole book: http://rubyonrails.freetutorial.info/index.htm Then I''ll burn Rails in my skull with Manning''s Ruby for Rails.. Then I''d get the Agile Rails book from Mr Thomas. Seems to get updated often, by the time you get to this book, you''ll be up to date with the latest with Rails.

Here''s some I''ve found useful. Programming Ruby - http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/ index.html Ruby for Rails - http://www.manning.com/black Agile Web Development with Rails - http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ title/rails/ Several more are in various stages of development. It''s useful to scan the newsgroup archives and ask here for current best practices as they are still in flux.

With prior programming experience, the Programming Ruby and Agile Web Development with Rails books are good places to start, plus the API of course (api.rubyonrails.com :-) There are heaps of online tutes/manuals to get you going, like Four Days on Rails or OnLamp/Amy''s Rolling with Ruby on Rails series. Then come the "add-on" booklets, like Rails Recipes etc. if you''re hungry for more!

Mine is kept fairly up to date, and has relevant links for reviews and author notes/blogs: http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/03/23/ruby-and-ruby-on-rails-book-roundup/ The new ruby-lang site has a very clean, comprehensive list: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/book-list/ And the Rails site has a shorter list, but you couldn''t go wrong with any of the top 3 on that list, particularly _Ruby for Rails_. I think that would be the best book for you to start with, as you are a beginner to ruby and have some prior programming experience. - rob http://www.robsanheim.com http://www.seekingalpha.com http://www.ajaxian.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
