I've been sitting here learning rails with the highly appraised book 'agile web development with rails (v2)', and I often just don't find the information dense enough, or specific enough. Lately I've just been reading RDoc, or the code directly. I've actually found that to be more effective.
- raganwald 19y agoI've had the same experience with certain books. That suggests to me you might want to try a new book. Of course, different books have different slants. Books designed as introductions for someone entirely new to the subject or as quick references are not going to be as mind-expanding as books designed for the intermediate or advanced reader. So far, I have found "The Rails Way" quite good when I've used it as a reference, if that is any help to you.
