Question

I am php developer and I’m trying to change php to ruby/rails.

I’ve read “Rails for PHP developers” by Pargmatic, but it is very simple.

Now I need to learn all about ruby classes (namespacing, abstraction, extending, factory/signleton patterns, requesting parent class methods, etc), but all guides and manuals I’ve seen was to simple, they was good only for beginners as a introduction.

Reading Ruby reference isn’t good idea, because it’s to difficult for understanding (my skills in ruby are not so good yet), so I need some guide for “professional developers” with many examples. Good example is “php|architect’s Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide” – http://www.amazon.com/architects-Zend-Certification-Study-Guide/dp/0973862149

Are there any book/guide/course to solve my problem?

Thanks!

You need this.
