Ditto, the mysql gem has problems on mac, otherwise I used the
macports version of ruby rather than the one distributed with mac os.
For books, I really liked Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce: From
Novice to Professional ( http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?
bID=10178 )
As someone coming from PHP development I had never been exposed to
test driven development, this books explains the virtues, and rather
than antidotally mentioning TDD, the authors chose to write the
entire book using TDD. I know other rails books concentrate on the
whiz-bang ajax features and design patterns rails offers, but I think
TDD is often overlooked in recent books, but I imagine it's getting
more press nowadays.
