Outdated 10 May 2008

By Log

Format:Paperback

You can't really follow this book with the newest installation of Rails. Although the author does provide a workaround on his website, it involves installing old versions of Rails. You expect books of this type to go out of date, but that's not much consolation for someone who's just spent a tenner on an obsolete book.

Outdated 20 July 2011

By jimjim

Format:Paperback

I should have paid more attention to the 2008 review which said that this book was outdated even then. In 2011 it is certainly outdated. It is difficult to follow the exercises as those versions of the software are no longer available. There is some help on the book's own web page but this is rather limited and it is itself out of date.

The Dummies series is usually excellent but this one should be withdrawn and replaced by a new edition.

Should have been called Ruby on Rails WITH RADRAILS for Dummies! 11 May 2007

By dEaDfRoG

Format:Paperback

If you're thinking of developing in RoR in a Windows environment and using RadRails as your app of choice, this book is pretty good. Whilst it's fairly easy to read between the lines and figure out what goes where, I perhaps wouldn't recommend this to someone starting out with Rails as I found it was a better guide to learning RadRails than learning Rails itself.

If it was called Ruby on Rails With Radrails for Dummies, I'd have given it a 4 rating.

Outdated.

This is quite a good book, witty and easy going introduction... but woefully out-of-date.
The examples simply won't run, if you install RoR using the latest installers. Read more

Great ruby and rails starter point

Starts from the very beginning, so you get all the fundamentals of RoR if you're a complete beginner, though I still refer to some sections even now that I'm intermediate. Read more
