Rails Basics : I am a newbie, what should I read ?

Just like thousands of experienced programmers who have flocked to Ruby after seeing the incredible demo on how easy it was to create a Ruby on Rails Applications, I started on RoR and after a short while, I hit a road block :-(

What did I do next ?

  1. Dummies Guide to Ruby and Rails
  2. Rails Cookbook
  3. Ruby Cookbook
  4. Rails Solution
  5. Agile Web Development with Rails
  6. Ruby on Rails : Up and Running

Welcome to Rails.. Rails... Rails !

In 1995, I started the popular Clipper...Clipper... Clipper website (no blogs then) which was very popular and linked by virtually every Clipper-related site. When I switched to Windows via Delphi in 1997, I started the Delphi... Delphi... Delphi site. In June 2007, I discovered Ruby on Rails and no prize for guessing what I am gonna name this blog. which I started on 2nd October 2007.
