- gtani 18y agoThere's alotta rails books coming out, see amazon. This list is not up to date, either: http://antoniocangiano.com/rails-books/ http://antoniocangiano.com/rails-books/ I recommend, in addition to the 2 lists, Ediger's "Advanced Rails", Rappin's "Professional Rails", and Ezra Z/Pragmatic's "Deploying Rails" . Haven't seen AWDWR vers. 3 beta, but Pragmatic's betas are usually worth reading after the first revision or 2 the last thread re:rails books http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=162210 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=162210
