How to work with the Old Book and New Code for 2.0.2
Hi, I own few good books based on rails 1.2. Its good enough but now outdated since many things have changed from 1.2 to 2.0.2 I have downloaded the codes in 2.0.2. But I am confused, how should i read the book and work with new codes. Are there any major changes in rails 2.0.2, except Scaffolding and Routing...? What should i read from old and famous books for rails 1.2...? Will my knowledge for rails 1.2 will go waste, if i read those books. I am sure, many would have faced the same situation. I would like to know the best method for this. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Read your book, then go lookup the technique the book describes in the api (api.rubyonrails.org) and check for differences. Taht way, you should still get the benefit of the structured message from the book and see what the current implementation requires. -- 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''d suggesting buying the beta book of Agile Web Development with Rails, which has been largely updated for 2.0.2 and should save you considerable time. I have a list of books that are updated for 2.0 at http://www.buildingwebapps.com/articles/27 Michael Slater www.BuildingWebApps.com On Jun 5, 3:48 am, Rahil Kantharia <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi, > > I own few good books based on rails 1.2.

OOps... I missed out the Important topic like REST with Rails 2.0.2. None of the old book will teach me REST. Can some one help me out pointing Good Blogs/Tutorials links on REST.

I had/have the same problem, but the main thing is that you just try out stuff and then use the book as a reference for ideas on how to handle different problems. Checking out http://pragprog.com and picking up the Beta PDF of Agile Web Development with Rails would be a good place to start, and I also recommend two other books, The Art of Rails and Simply Rails 2. Main thing is to use everything, question everything, and fail a lot. That''s why we use version control.
