Yeah you do need to learn Ruby to use Rais, but the good thing is that most beginner and even some advanced Rails book make an assumption you do not. It was for me like that, and I learned both simultaniously :) Now **I remember how hard it was for the authors to explain symbols, but now its so obvious. I feel like this particular concept really should be 'felt' rather 'learned'. Good learning :)
Oh and I would recommend book "Foundation Rails". I like that one the most from the crowd. That covers Rails 2.x very well. Rails 3 got some very new things comming, but at least Amazon search gave me only results for books that are only for pre-order as of now. 2010/8/21 Colin Law <[email protected]> > On 21 August 2010 14:45, Irfan Ahmed <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks, to all my dear for your helping hand. > > Dear Jason White I would like give thanks in advance that I have choosen > you > > highly recommended book Agile Web Development with Rails.
