Free SitePoint Ruby on Rails Book!

I'm a big fan of SitePoint. I'm not a fan of Ruby on Rails, mostly because of the pathetic Rails Envy mock commercials, but I'm a huge fan of expanding one's knowledge.

For a limited time, SitePoint is offering a FULL book, Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Applications, for free. Even if you don't know Ruby on Rails, or RoR, download the book and at least take a look!

    I don’t get it, was it something I said?

    Good call on the book — it’s a really well written book covering what you’d want to learn about rails. I think you were way too lenient on the rails envy guys and commercials, though… They’re way worse than pathetic.

    Thank you for posting, Rails Envy gentleman.

    I frown on your “commercials” because I don’t see a point to them. Each language comes with its advantages and disadvantages but for 90+% of websites the language doesn’t really matter.

    If there’s any envy, it’s on the RoR side. I don’t see other programming languages taking shots at others.

    That said, I’ll learn RoR at some point, but probably only to put it on my resume.
