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.

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.
