Book: Ruby for Rails

June 3, 2006

I am reading the book Ruby for Rails by David Black. This book is beginner level for web developers wanting to get started with Ruby on Rails and have little or no Ruby experience.

The author uses a lot of words to express his points. The same things could be said with much fewer words.

The book has good coverage of everything you need to know about Ruby to make good use of Ruby on Rails. I'm not exactly a beginner at Rails but I've learned lots of interesting stuff anyway.

Book Recommendation:

The Ruby Way takes a “how-to” approach to Ruby programming with the bulk of the material. It consists of more than 400 examples arranged by topic. Each example answers the question “How do I do this in Ruby?” Working along with the author, you are presented with the task description and a discussion of the technical constraints. This is followed by a step-by-step presentation of one good solution. Along the way, the author provides detailed commentary and explanations to aid your understanding. I highly recommend this book, especially for beginner to intermediate Ruby programmers.
