Currently reading “The Rails Way” … awesome book.
Oh NO! That used to be the reason I went to Rails from Java. Based on the book stack they’re pretty much equally as complicated (I know that’s not true but still).
The Ruby Programming Language by Matz et al is missing. Gotta have that one.
What you need to do Java is still much larger than what you need to do ruby!
Hmmm, I don’t see “The Ruby Programming Language”.
Guys, I’m not a bookstore. 😀 Those are just a few titles which I own. Of course, there are many more out there.
It’s not the amount of books available that matters — it’s the amount of books necessary to get an understanding of the full framework and environments.
That still makes it two books for Ruby and Rails.
That post made by browser choppy….
I seem to have taken this post differently than everyone else. I took it to indicate how much Rails and Ruby have grown in popularity. If it’s popular the books always follow.
How many Ruby developers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One to screw it in, and two to write books about it.
“The Rails Way” is a great book.
I’m not so sure either if this sign is good or bad.
Ehehe RoR rocks! Ehi Antonio what do u know about ARAX?
Haha, what made you decide that you liked ruby so much over Java? I used Ruby on Rails for a while, but then went back to PHP.
Will definitly be reading furthur into your blog.
it shows I posted of windows!
Scary … your bookshelf is morphing into my bookshelf !!!
What I actually find more interesting is that my bookshelf is becoming less of an “O’Reilly only”, although I still can’t live without my Perl books, and now seems to much more favour Pragmatic and Manning.
But top of the heap is now “The Rails Way” : bought it a month or so ago and it is now the one Rails book I could not do without.
Just a pity it is also the only one which is only available electronically in a crippled format which I can’t access on my Linux laptop.
I bought all the Pragmatic books in the “Print and PDF” double offer, so they can go everywhere my laptop goes.
