C
Concours
I've recently been turned on to Ruby and Rails, and after some
preliminary searching, I've settled on two sources to help get things
started.
1) Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional (Expert's Voice in Open
Source)
2) Agile Web Development with Rails (Pragmatic Programmers)
I believe book #2 is referred to as the "pickaxe" in the Rails
community? Have I made a good choice on materials, or are there some
other books I should be looking into?
As a brief background, I've been developing websites and web
applications for the past 8 years (primarily in the ASP environment). I
have a good grasp on OO programming, but haven’t really gotten any one
particular language under my belt.
Thanks for any advice!
