Average Rating:
 Rating:  - a word of cautionI bought this book. Its well written, with a good style. However The current book is written for Rails 1.2.X - the current version is 2.2.2, and version 2.2.3 is imminent (v3 for beta in May). While not vastly different, tehre are a number of changes (dynamic scaffolding ahs been depreciated and following the example given in the book will fail here, for example. The default database has changed to SLQlite (for mac users I guess) You really need something, as even web tutorials dont touch on the differences well. This book is pretty much the bible, and unless you want to go with the beta copy of the next edition (in PDF) - its your best bet. Just be aware, there are some more streamlined ... Read More: Rating:  - Not Good For A Beginner To ProgrammingI'm an experienced developer in HTML and CSS so I thought I'd try my hand at my first real programming and hop on the latest band wagon of Ruby on Rails. I boldy read my way through Chapters 1 and 2, having to refer to the web for definitions on acronyms I didn't know and re-read some of the particularly jargon-filled paragraphs that made assumptions about what I already knew thinking "Ok, it seems a bit tricky, but I understand the concepts so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it once I hit the real examples." I didn't even get to the real examples. The installation section is a real let-down. Using Mac OS Leopard, I am informed that I have all of the tools, I just need to enable them, where it then tells me to go on a load ... Read More: Rating:  - Great Book but currently out of dateAt the time of writing this review, the current edition of the book (edition 2) is out of date and is not designed for Rails 2.0. So although this is a marvellous in depth book, if you have no experience in Rails development their are to many workarounds to use the book with the current rails release. This being said it is possible to run an older edition of Rails on your computer, and therefore you can follow the book. If you have previous experience in web development using PHP, then check out Rails For PHP developers. I have been using this book to get up to speed with rails and have found it a great help. Rating: - Great but remember to use Rails 1.2.6This book is very well structured and written but if you are new to RAILS remember to use version 1.2.6 to avoid incompatibility issues. Hopefully we'll get a new version soon with all the examples compatible with RAILS version 2.0. Rating: - Great Starting PointThis book gave me a great starting point for building an e-commerce website in Ruby on Rails. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to dive into Ruby on Rails. |
