Playing with Rails? Get this book!
After hearing a presentation on Ruby on Rails, I decided that I would check it out. I've played with web development in PHP, and though I enjoy it, the time required to develop the structure and functionality of a website takes a while. After perusing many websites, I found it to be very quick in developing the structure, but I had minor trouble with the functionality, mainly because of my unfamiliarity with Ruby.

After acquiring experience with Ruby, this book is a great way to understand the Rails methodology. Don't expect it to teach you Ruby, though; the main focus of the book is the Rails framework and the Agile development process. Be ready to invest in a good Ruby reference along with purchasing this.


Best Technical Book Ever
There is something alluring about how this book was written, or maybe the sleek programming language (Ruby) and the framework (Rails) themselves are so attractive that I were drawn into it. This book was the first book that drawed me into Ruby and Rails.

This book is one of those rare technical books that is so light to read page after page, after each page, you know you have learn something good. When it is over, you just wish there could be just another chapter.
.


Rails, it teaches you what it is and how to use it. Perfect!
I got this book in addition to a Ruby language book. I was curious to this popular and fast growing MVC framework that everyone is talking about. It does what a MVC framework should do. It is not the best framework, it is just different.

This book teaches you Rails so that you have a solid foundation to start playing around and writing your own web applications using this MVC toolkit.

I think Rails is so amazing to many because it is the first MVC web framework they have used, as there are many others out there in various languages (like Catalyst in Perl).

This gives you the information so you can learn what everyone else is talking about. Nothing more, nothing less. Just be weary of the cult ;).
