review 1: The best! This book is the most clear, understandable, and implementable of all the tutorial books I have been reading for the last month. He explains what is required, why, and how. The theory is explained in a way that is clear and more resources are cited for those who want to delve deeper into the programming languages, development environments, servers, scaffolding, version control theory, or gemlibraries.The examples are simple but easily scalable. Hooray! The author is someone who can use english correctly and adeptly... and has the technical knowledge I am trying to acquire!You can find it online for free, with all its cool links to other resources.
review 2: I've nearly completed the 3.2 version of this tutorial as a refresher and update for my Ra... moreils experience.As long as you understand what this book offers, you'll probably be happy with it. Michael Hartl has delivered a thorough, easy-to-follow tutorial that is quite readable, and will give you a decent overview of what it's like to write a Rails application and pick up a few well-recommended tools along the way (RSpec, Bootstrap Framework, Factory Girl).What it won't do is spend a lot of time walking you through lots of alternatives, explaining how the technology works, what your other choices are. All of those things would probably be a distraction to just getting an app built if you're new to Rails.If you're looking for a deep understanding of the Rails framework and/or compatible tools, this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for a very easy-to-follow way to get started with Rails, this is a great choice. less
