Build your own Ruby On Rails Web Application I have been reading and not blogging as much. Topics as diverse and divergent as Biz talk, Linq, Ruby on Rails, Lisp and Lua programming has kept life interesting; all very interesting stuff. Well, sitepoint did send a free pdf of the Ruby On Rails (RoR) book, Building Your own Ruby on Rails web application and that was really cool.
The link is here if you want your own pdf. The book's review enjoyed a fair amount of criticism especially from people who have been doing a lot of RoR but great reviews from people just getting into RoR and who are not very experienced in setting up web servers and the likes, geeks vs geek-in-make reviews!
I think the book is great and you can tell where I belong in the RoR world. a crash course in Ruby and an introduction to Rails using a sample application built chapter by chapter, an approach I see as a great learning methodology. The book even went to lenghts to talk about testing, debugging and deployment. It includes sources of Rails environment, test and deployment scenarios on Linux, Mac and Windows.
My best book so far this last quarter of 2007.  ¶ 2:36 AM
