For the past while I’ve been working on a book called Rails in a Nutshell with three other great fellows: Cody, Edward, and John. With this book, we want to provide the best possible reference for anyone working with Rails 3.0.
I want you to be able to flip through the index or ctrl/⌘-F through the PDF and quickly find the satisfying and practical explanation you need. We are favouring “cutting to the chase” over describing everything that Rails has to offer. There will be some lists and charts here and there, but we would rather spend time on practical advice for common situations than on enumerating every element of the API.
With the help of O’Reilly, we’re able to make the book available online before publication for you to interact with as it is written. We’re making it really easy for you to provide feedback on any part of the book as it evolves, using an O’Reilly system called OFPS.
The book has a twitter account in addition to the live manuscript, and the authors are here:
