Matthew Pennell has written a thorough review of Beginning Rails over at Digital Web Magazine.
For a Rails novice, what follows is a series of head-shaking, “That’s cool!” moments, as the book walks you through the basics of developing with Ruby on Rails; using the built-in web server, auto-generating files, finding your way around the interactive console, using the scaffolding feature (which allows you to create an entire database front-end with only one line of code), and creating and managing database migrations are all smoothly covered.
I’m a regular reader of Digital Web, so I was happy to see it reviewed there. But don’t take my word for it. Read the full review.
