I found the Sitepoint Rails book (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/ rails2/) very good as an introduction to writing a full on Rails app - will definitely give you a taster of what Rails is all about.
Also, try watching a few of the more basic Railscasts (http:railscasts.com) by Ryan Bates ... these are brilliant and I see them as the equivalent of 'going to a lecture' at university, you get to see what is happening rather than just reading about it. Also, sign up for a Heroku (http://heroku.com) account - you get to run rails apps right in your browser and don't have the hassle of having to install rails and set everything up. After that, you should probably get the Agile Web Develpment on Rails book or The Rails Way by Obie Fernandez - this is a great reference and very up to date. There are loads of free guides online, not least the aforementioned official guides: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ DAZ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
