The canonical resource is the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book. It's aimed primarily at programmers, and it's free online.
- sheff 14y agoThe other place to look for books is Pragmatic Programmers ( http://pragprog.com/titles http://pragprog.com/titles ) who do the Agile Web Development with Rails book which is usually fairly up to date, along with some other in depth titles. A subscription to Railscasts pro ( http://railscasts.com/ http://railscasts.com/ ) is also well worth the cost.
- timo614 14y agoI completely agree with the Railscasts mention -- I use it and asciicasts (http://asciicasts.com/ http://asciicasts.com/) which is the text version quite often. The pro membership pays for itself back right away as you have access to the whole collection of pro and revised episodes he has released to this point. The docs for ruby and rails both are really helpful too. http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/ http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/ http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/ http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/
- habosa 14y agoThe Hartl tutorial is absolutely amazing. I still go back to it all the time. I was all Java before I picked up Rails and this book answered all of my questions.
