Computerworld.com has posted my review of the book RailsSpace: Building a Social Networking Website With Ruby on Rails http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9030460 From the review: It may be trendy, but Ruby on Rails (RoR) is also still relatively new -- which means it''s not as easy to find resources to learn it as it is for, say, Java or Struts. The publishing industry has geared up at last, though, and there are now several dozen options for those of us trying to teach ourselves. RailsSpace: Building a Social Networking Website With Ruby on Rails (Addison Wesley Professional, 2007) is a welcome addition to the list. Authors Michael Hartl and Aurelius Prochazka are unabashed fans. They speak more than once about Rails "magic" and tout Rails for making tedious, repetitive Web development tasks "trivially easy." If you buy into the premise that Ruby on Rails is a great productivity booster that can make once-dreary coding tasks fairly painless (which I do), RailsSpace offers a lot of hands-on, practical examples of how to use Rails intelligently. . . . -- (Already one commenter has taken me to task for saying that it''s not easy to find resources, instead of saying more explicitly that there are fewer resources. ...) -- Sharon Machlis Online Managing Editor Computerworld http://www.computerworld.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
