Customer comments on this selection.
 Excellent set of RoR recipes
I would give this book 5 stars, but I only give it 4 stars because there are some minor quirks in getting some recipes to work, possibly due to differences between rails/ruby at the time of publication and the state rails is in now?
Anyway, it's minor things you can work your way through, but which nevertheless show the book's age.
 Excellent Rails book for those that learn by example
As someone who learns best by example and seeing how it's done, this book was great for me to get familiar with Rails. I have lots of experience with other object-oriented languages and have used many development frameworks. I don't need a tutorial on general object technologies, but I wanted to learn and understand the Rails framework. I don't have any real reason to get to know Rails other than general interest, but with this book I've been able to be productive in working on hobby projects much quicker than without it.
Reading this book is like having access to multiple, experienced Rails developers (including some of those contributing to the core Rails product) that have developed and deployed commercial software on this new, upcoming platform. I hope to have an opportunity to develop product in this technology and know that by owning this product I'm more prepared than ever. Highly recommended.
When you just need a solution!
Look no further .... I would also recommend trying Advanced Rails Recipe which comes out in August '07....
Use it nearly everyday.
This is one of the best books I have come across for really giving me insight into how easy it is to do some things using Ruby on Rails that seemed massively complicated to do in other web frameworks and languages (Java, etc.) I guess the downside is that it is really hard to keep a book like this up to date, so I am expecting a sequel to come out at some point!
70+ Rails Tidbits In One Book!!
'Rails Recipes' by Chad Fowler is a wonderful book filled with 70 recipes which will automatically improve your Rails skillset and no doubt get you programming faster and better than ever before!!
Pragmatic is never going to win any awards for layout of their books, but the content within more than makes up for the drab interior. I can't list out all 70 tidbits here but I will give the breakdown of chapters:
User Interface Recipes (13)
Database Recipes (17)
Controller Recipes (10)
Testing Recipes (4)
Big-Picture Recipes (22)
Email Recipes (4)
If you use Ruby on Rails and want to be able to accomplish common tasks without rewriting code that already exists, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book and improve your efficiency the moment you turn the front cover over. Wonderful book, great size, solid writing make this an EASY recommendation.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
