Hello all, Which version of Rails do you recommend if I start a new project using RoR? I studied RoR with Agile Web Development with Rails (1st edition) last year, and found that there is new version 2.x out there - but, it was very hard for me to find any book for Rails 2.0. Do I have to stick with 1.x version of Rails? Also, I wonder if the rails hosting companies do support the latest version of Rails as well. I thank you for your advice in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

FWIW, I have moved to 2.1.1, REST support excellent, and overall, I am pleased. YMMV Cheers-- Charles On Sep 29, 7:43 am, Jae Lee <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hello all, > > Which version of Rails do you recommend if I start a new project using > RoR? > I studied RoR with Agile Web Development with Rails (1st edition) last > year, and found that there is new version 2.x out there - but, it was > very hard for me to find any book for Rails 2.0. > > Do I have to stick with 1.x version of Rails? > Also, I wonder if the rails hosting companies do support the latest > version of Rails as well. > > I thank you for your advice in advance. > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

At this time, you can obtain the PDF at the following location: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition You should at least complete the construction of the demo application. In addition to the above book, I would also recommend the following as well: "Simply Rails 2" by Patrick Lenz - a very good first book on learning Rails 2.0 "The Rails Way" by Obie Fernandez - an excellent reference on Rails 2.0 but I''m looking forward to an update covering Rails 2.2 "Advanced Rails Recipes" by Mike Clark and the Rails community - an excellent cookbook (i.e. problem/solution format) Lastly, you have the people here to assist you along the way. Good luck, -Conrad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rails 2.1.x++. The latest Rails is always the best to start out with. We often try to follow along Rails Edge during our heavy development cycle so that we''re not spending too much time handling upgrades later on.

Definitely move to the latest, and grab a copy of Simply Rails 2 if you are interested. A great, easy read which should guide you rather well through some of the changes between Rails 1.x and 2.x.
