Reviews for Ruby on Rails for Dummies

Outdated
Rated out of 5 stars, May 12th, 2008
You can't really follow this book with the newest installation of Rails. Although the author does provide a workaround on his website, it involves installing old versions of Rails. You expect books of this type to go out of date, but that's not much consolation for someone who's just spent a tenner on an obsolete book. -
Should have been called Ruby on Rails WITH RADRAILS for Dummies!
Rated out of 5 stars, May 12th, 2007
If you're thinking of developing in RoR in a Windows environment and using RadRails as your app of choice, this book is pretty good. Whilst it's fairly easy to read between the lines and figure out what goes where, I perhaps wouldn't recommend this to someone starting out with Rails as I found it was a better guide to learning RadRails than learning Rails itself.
If it was called Ruby on Rails With Radrails for Dummies, I'd have given it a 4 rating.
