Recommended Book On RoR

[Chung Yang]

Hi Scott:

What was the name of the Ruby On Rail book that you recommended the
class to read as a reference in our first session?

I tried to look back on class notes but don't seem to find it. I only
saw the book on Ruby Language in the first day tutorial but not the
Rails framework.

Thanks,

Chung

Chung,
One of my favorites is Learning Rails from the Outside In (Oriley) by
Simon St.Lurent. It is being updated to Rails 3.0 but to be completely
honest a lot of the ideas / logic remains the same, if you have a
kindle it is about $20 for the book and well worth the read. In fact,
that book is the reason I finally "got" rails.

Satish thanks for pointing Chung in the right direction, all the books
on the book list I personally own and can vouch for.

Thanks guys!

I guess the major difference between Rail 3 and Rail 2 is the way routing syntax is being done?    I wonder if I should just wait until the "Learning Rails" is updated with Rails 3.0 and start with Beginning Rails 3 for now. 

Best,

Chung

Routing is smarter now, just can feel like more of a chore. Remember
though the rails routes helpers.

rake routes

So you can see how rails views your routes.

When in doubt, take a look at the rubyonrails documentation.
