This was the first in depth but really understandable intro to RoR that I've read. Made me eager to potentially drop PHP in favor of RoR. I agree.

Because even though it is a great resource for people that are new to Rails it doesn't bring anything new to the table. What I mean is that every individual that has set their mind to learning Rails will first of all buy the popular book "Agile Web Development with Rails". After only one hour of reading in the that book you will start to create your own Rails application - a store. That part of the book does not only beat the application you build in "Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications", but it will furthermore give the reader better insight on what is going on in the background. But the greatest benefit of them all is that "Agile Web Development with Rails" does not only teach you how to program a store, but it allows you to change the application according to your needs by simply checking out the rest of the book and all the descriptions for different methods and functionality. So I would recommend "Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Application" if you haven't yet read the first part of "Agile Web Development with Rails", where you create the store, yet. It doesn't teach you anything new. The only difference is that either the content could be added to your cart or to your voting-list. However, the simplicity of "Build Your[...]" is as mentioned great for novice programmers and people that does not have previous experience with serverside programming. So my advice is to only go with "Agile Web [...]" or to start with "Build Your[...]" and then "Agile Web[...]". I do agree to some extent, however I wouldn’t recommend this book.
