Hey All: I got my first rails app up and running, but I know there was a lot I could have done better. Most of my knowledge comes from web reference and the Rails Recipes book. I''m really looking for something a little meatier. Is there a definitive reference that is a "must read"? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

i think this is the 9,000th instance of this question and answer combination on the list. i think we need a faq for the mailing list (yes, the wiki has a faq, but those don''t seem to be the questions that get asked here, plus there''s always that risk of "great site!" spam). unless someone has a better idea, i volunteer to put one together. send me your (least) favorites and i''ll try to put together something before the heat-death of the universe. so far i have: - what''s the difference between ruby and rails? - what is a good book about rails? - can you send me a copy of the pdf version of awdwr - where are online references? - what''s a good editor for rails? - how do i install it? - how do i do self-referential associations? - where can i host rails apps? -faisal On Nov 30, 2006, at 11:38 AM, Tim Chater wrote:> > Joe Cairns wrote: >> Hey All: >> >> Is there a definitive reference that is a "must read"? > > Have a look at the second edition of Agile Development with Rails. > > http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/index.html > > It''s not out till 13th December but you can get the final PDF now.

Good effort Faisal. I have a suggestion. Quite often when a topic is resolved, the thread represents a host of knowledge. I suggest at this point in the thread, the email is fwded by the asker to a mailbox monitored by the FAQ service. Any takers?

Another thought came to mind, If the thread''s subject is marked as [FAQ] afterwards, then a simple search of the group will review the FAQ. That way a separate mail account wouldn''t be required - just a search of the subject lines. Would certainly increase the signal-to-noise when looking for a solution.
