Hey guys! I''ve been hearing so much about how great this RoR stuff is that I''ve decided to put some effort into learning it, but I''m having a problem. I''ve been trying for about two weeks now to just get going with it but I''m not having much luck. What I''m specifically trying to do is install and get running the latest versions of rails, ruby, mongrel and apache on a Debian 4.0 system and learn how to start developing web based applications with it. So, pretty much everything. :) Does anyone know where I can find some online tutorials or know of some good books I can buy that will help me with this stuff? I''d really appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!

All together now: 1, 2, 3 "Agile Web Development with Rails 2nd Ed" This is the standard book to get you started and take you to a good level of understanding and ability with Rails - it should be (and probably is) on even the most seasoned rails developers'' book shelves: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html or from amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Agile-Development-Rails-Pragmatic-Programmers/dp/0977616630/sr=8-1/qid=1171640364/ref=pd_ka_1/203-2562284-3587166?ie=UTF8&s=books Enjoy!

If you''re just starting out, my recommendation is to read Why''s Poignant Guide to Ruby first. It''s free! After that, try Lynda.com''s Essential Ruby on Rails. It''s alot better than reading a book. You can read me review at http://www.rubyhead.com/2007/01/19/ror-video- courses-lynda-vs-vtc/ which compares Lynda and VTC. Good luck.
