Does not really spend too much time explaining Rails or Ruby so if you are a beginner this may not be for you, but if you are looking for the next step this is a good place to start.
The book tracks the development of an online store and gives a good feel for how you should go about building and testing it.
Again a number of the topics assume that you have some knowledge of the subject mater and complete beginners could get lost quite quickly.
Also there are a small number of bugs in the code examples, but corrections are available from the books website and it does provide you with a few extra non-intentional debugging exorcises to get your teeth into.
Good rails book.
If you've never seen the Ruby language before then you will need an accompanying book to introduce you to the syntax and teach you some of the common Ruby 'tricks'. You'll also need access to a good Rails reference as well. (There are a couple of good ones on-line).
There are a number of errors in the book's code examples. If you take the time to understand everything that the book teaches you then you should be able to fix the vast majority of them and and work around the rest. You'll deepen your understanding in the process. Alternatively, you could download the listings from the website.

But people with experience especially in Web Development who are a bit operating system savvy and can work around minor gliches will find this book a tremendous resource. Moreover, one of the authors has started a web discussion group to discuss these specific problems. I have quite a bit of experience in Web E-Commerce development, and I find this book a fundamental resource is teaching me how powerful indeed Ruby on Rails is for integrating some of the more specialized technologies such as search engines. I also found that the "lack" of Ruby experience was becomiing a factor in being able to thoroughly understand and leverage the wealth of information presented in the book. Hence I took the detour into David Black's book which is also very good. The only reason I did not give a full five star rating to this book is that the omissions can indeed send you off on a tangent researching things which should otherwise take a short time.
