I am interested in building web applications using Ruby on Rails. I surfed the Internet and found out that I need to have a prior knowledge of the Ruby language. So can you please suggest some good books, online resources to start off with Ruby first and then Ruby on Rails?
Thanks,
Rakesh.
As far as Ruby goes, two good books are:
Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmers’ Guide by Dave Thomas, Chad Fowler, and Andy Hunt
The Ruby Way, Second Edition: Solutions and Techniques in Ruby Programming by Hal Fulton
