I am new to Ruby and therefore new to Ruby on Rails. I am interested in working with RoR, but I am wondering whats the best way to get started? I have seen plenty of tutorials and screencasts posted, but I haven''t found some sort of guide as to how to get started, such as Step 1, read this pdf Step 2, try this tutorial, etc. Thanks for the advice, in advance! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The second edition of AWDwR is the only one that''s current with 1.2, and I''m guessing only the PDF will be completely current by the time 1.2 actually comes out. -faisal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can get it from the publisher, Manning, and I believe it''s included if you order the paper version from them.> Of note, since Rails evolves fairly rapidly, and older books talk to > older releases.

I think all of the Rails examples are upwardly compatible with 1.2, though you may see things like @content_for_layout instead of yield. David -- Q. What is THE Ruby book for Rails developers? A.
