New EPUB and Mobi versions of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial
- russtrpkovski 14y agoThanks Michael!
- mhartl 14y agoYou're welcome!
- rasyadi 14y agoMany thanks! I love the both the book and the screencast. The way that you arrange the words and sentences make it easier for non-native English speaker to understand. But for now I'll stick with the PDF version as it is more easier to switch between text editor, terminal, and browser.
- mhartl 14y agoFor those curious about the process: making the EPUB and Mobi files was excruciating. I'm currently working on a project that should make it much easier in the future. Stay tuned.
- danso 14y agoThank you for your work and I'm particularly interested in your publishing process. I've been asked about making ebook formats for some of my HTML-based writing and have basically said, "that sounds waaaay too complicated"
- telemachos 14y agoThis isn't a direct solution for you since your material is already in HTML. But LeanPub[1] is one simple way to get ebooks. You write in Markdown, and they produce pdf, epub and mobi formats. [1]: https://leanpub.com https://leanpub.com

- raphaelcaixeta 14y agoI've tried hopping on the Rails train a few times now. This is by far the best way to learn coming from a PHP background. Thank you!
- ravenger00 14y agoDoes EPUB and Mobi scale?
- monsterix 14y agoTwo years ago I came from non-technical background. The only reason why I am on Hacker News now is because of this guide that taught me Ruby on Rails.
