Free SitePoint Ruby on Rails Book!

By  on  

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.

    “I’ll learn RoR at some point, but probably only to put it on my resume.” I love that :)
