If you can wait for a couple of months for the release of rails 4 and another or 2 for a good book, then I'd say wait. But in those months, you could've already acquired a good deal of knowledge when you buy a rails 3 book. There are some new stuff going out in rails 4 like turbolinks, doll caching and strong parameters, all of which are kind of an upgrade to the version that rails 3 is using so you might want to look at how those work at the moment while waiting for rails 4. > > > 2013/1/10 Norbert Melzer <[email protected]> > >> >> >> >> 2013/1/10 Maciej Rząsa <[email protected]> >> >>> Do you think it's still reasonable to buy those books, knowing that RoR4 >>> will be released soon?
