First Book With Rails 2.0 : The Rails Way

The long awaited book “The Rails Way” is finally out, and it’s chock full of good stuff and even includes (slightly pre-release) coverage of Rails 2.0 already. Aside from the CD Baby boondoggle, Obie IS a Rails Core guy, ( I think… ) so he should know a thing or two about a thing or two.

The only drawback: the Rails Way is a big honker. Back breaker. The same problem with Hal Fulton’s classic “The Ruby Way”, the book is TOO BIG and heavy. I really wish publishers would get smart and publish these things in smaller volumes with numbers on the spine. It would be a lot easier to carry around and they’d quickly find out what parts of a text are really driving sales…
