similar to: Ruby For Rails Chapter 3

Here''s my review of Chapter 3: As the author says, this is a transitional chapter. The first chapter was an introduction to Ruby, and the second was a similar introduction to Rails. Now we begin the real purpose of the book, which is to dig into the Ruby behind the Rails. Periodically the question arises on this list about how much Ruby you need to know in order to do Rails.

If you buy the MEAP (Manning''s version of Beta Books), you can now get the first four chapters of David Black book (that''s nearly 25%!). So far, I''ve been really pleased with it. I just grabbed chapter four, and I''ll be reading it soon. Get more information (or buy a copy) at: http://manning.com/books/black -- thanks, -pate -------------------------

As others have mentioned, Chapter 4 of David A. Black''s book _Ruby for Rails_ is now available for download from the Manning site. The fact that the book is being released one chapter at a time makes it easy to read in small, digestible chunks. I never intended to review every chapter individually here, but now that I''ve done the first three, I feel like I ought to continue.

I just checked the Manning website and chapter 2 of David Black''s Ruby for Rails is now available for download. Hammed -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060214/d8f88893/attachment.html

Hi -- I''m on the road, so I haven''t laid eyes on it yet -- but word on the virtual street is that "Ruby for Rails: Ruby techniques for Rails developers" is now out in paper.

Well I am glad that there has been alot of input on this topic, alot of people are having different opinions but that is because we are not focusing with the problem at hand. The documentation provides full details on how to get samba + ldap working from scratch; but there seems to be a gap between chapter 5 & 6; Once again I will say I love this book; by far the best technical reference

I''m using Hieraki to do some documentation for RubyGems. So far I''m lovin'' it. But I have a question. I currently have three books on the site. It seems that the chapter numbers continue from one book to the next. For example, the first book has 7 chapters (numbered 1-7). The second book has three chapters, but they are numbered (8-10) rather than the (1-3) I

Hello list! Since it is more and more common these days to create enhanced podcasts (= audio files with additional chapter markers [1]), I am searching for an alternative to the currently used MP4 format. ID3 also puplished an official standard for chapters [2], but nobody seems to use and support it. Now I am trying to get something similar with vorbis audio (and maybe an additional

Howdy all, I''ve noticed an influx of "What book should I buy?" questions lately, so I thought I''d put together a number of bibliographies/curriculums based on experience, role, and so on. You can view them at: http://blog.mrneighborly.com/2007/10/ruby-and-rails-bibliography-of-sorts.html I want this to be a resource to point people to, so if one of these becomes out

Hi, I am currently reading the Rails Recipes book and like the chapter on providing your own in_place_editor for enumerations / selects. I understood so far, or I believe that I understood ;-), how to do that for a field that uses values only, like choosing from "red", "black", "green". What I fail to understand is how to chose from associated objects?!

I agree the presentation needs work haha. That''s something I really haven''t put a lot of thought into yet. I''m hoping to start polishing it up after I get the first half edited and cleaned up text-wise. Since it seems everyone is interested in it, I can definitely post a summary and TOC; I had one up and then when I launched the new site I didn''t put it back
