Re: [PhillyOnRails] Hello; tips to avoid "newbie drownings in the Rails pool"...


I'll second no problems on OS X. As far as books go, http:// www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/index.html is by far my favorite development book written for any language.

Interesting, as I had no problems setting up Rails on OS X. Just switched from Windows. Pretty seamless.
I recommend the WROX programming book on
Rails...you'll find it at their website.

Also interesting as that's one of the few Rails books we have that I don't like much. =) The other one that's only O-KAY is the Rails for Dummies one. The Dummies book is good in that it uses RadRails to teach and if you are planning on using Eclipse/Aptana/RadRails/ etc for development, the Dummies book is handy. Otherwise, I don't like either of those much.

cheers,
Colin
