Comments on: Jump into RoR with ‘Rails Solutions’ http://joshblog.net/2007/03/04/jump-into-ror-with-rails-solutions/ Just another WordPress site Wed, 16 May 2012 17:12:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Josh Tynjala http://joshblog.net/2007/03/04/jump-into-ror-with-rails-solutions/#comment-424 Josh Tynjala Mon, 05 Mar 2007 01:42:40 +0000 http://www.zeuslabs.us/archives/123/jump-into-ror-with-rails-solutions/#comment-424 Sorry Tim, I haven't read that one. My guess is that Rails Solutions will be a bit less technical. It's published by Friends of ED, and their books tend to be targeted towards designers and developer/designer hybrids rather than hardcore programmers. Personally, I hate programming books, and I mention that in half the book reviews I write. If I want a technical manual, I'll read one of those. A book should keep me from falling asleep :). The Friends of ED writing style is light and interesting. and I like it a lot. Arguably, this would be a great book for getting started with Rails. and then the nitty-gritty details can be picked up from the real documentation. Sorry Tim, I haven’t read that one.

Have you read Agile Web Development with Rails and if so how does this book compare? I own it, but have yet to dive into it. Thanks for the review.
