When I started learning Ruby on Rails, I read the first edition of this book. Its holistic view of the Rails framework and community provides any new developer the kick start they need to a highly successful career. After reading through the latest edition cover to cover, I can happily say that it continues that trend and remains the first book I recommend to any new Rails developer.
Agile Web Development with Rails does an excellent job of making the Rails environment accessible in an enjoyable and memorable way. In addition, this book is the first I’ve seen that provides a sensible and coherent explanation of the MVC pattern, and it does so in a natural progression using examples that completely remove any mystery.
Agile Web Development with Rails successfully straddles a fine line between being a fun-to-read introduction to Rails (and Ruby) and a straightforward guide to some advanced features of the platform, nicely supplanting the everchanging online documentation.
I’ve never read a programming book as successful as Agile Web Development with Rails. Sam made learning Ruby on Rails easy, comprehensive, and fun.
