Re: The best resource for the best Rails patterns and practices?
I have heard that the "Agile Development with Rails" book was a "must- have" reference for any Rails developer, but there are new books coming out every day.. I would be on the lookout for a book that specifically addresses Design patterns and best pratices.

Don''t know about Rails specific patterns, but here is one on Design Patterns in general in Ruby: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321490452/ref=sr_1_1/102-6693047-6739350?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192289820&sr=1-1 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

David''s book is good, but it''s from the pre-Rails 1.2 era. I''d say that the second edition of Active Web Development with Rails is stil the best bet, but make sure you get the second edition. Of course Rails 2.0 is imminent, but it''s looking like it will be less a radical change than from 1.1 to 1.2. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
