Hi everybody~ Vey nice to meet you on this group. I''m a only web service planner operating a site " http://topics.co.kr/categories?q=iphone " developed by Ruby-on-Rails engineers through payment. But I''m trying to do study Ruby on Rails by myself from now on. By the way, some engineers in my country South Korea said the only book translated in Korean has wrong exercises now because Ruby on Rails is not any more version 1.x. So I should buy a book composed by exercise including exercises with version 2.x. First of all I hope this book [ http://amzn.to/bshhvk ] is like so(above) but I''m not sure. And then I hope you great engineers will recommend an appropriate book to me, a beginner. Thank you geeks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

With respect to books, the first 2 that belong on your bookshelf are "Agile Web Development with Rails" and "Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer''s Guide". I don''t know if either are available in Korean, but Google Chrome may be of some assistance to you with it''s built-in translation capabilities. The first edition of Programming Ruby is available online at http://ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby Best regards, Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The best book on learning Rails that I have ever read is "Simply Rails 2" published by Sitepoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/rails2/? historicredirect=rails1 ). It is laid out in a very good way and it''s the only book where I went through all the examples. Later on I would recommend "The Rails Way" -http://www.rubyinside.com/ the-rails-way-by-obie-fernandez-679.html It goes into great detail about Rails. Remember that Rails 3.0 is just around the corner as well which is a bit different from 2.0.

Read Programming Ruby (on the Web or on paper), read the Rails Guides, and play around. That''s what worked for me (and I''m now doing high-profile Rails development at a Fortune 100 company).
