Head First Rails by David Griffiths
Figure its about time that you hop on the Ruby on Rails bandwagon? You've heard that it'll increase your productivity exponentially, and allow you to created full fledged web applications with minimal headaches...but you don't know where to start? "Head First Ruby on Rails" is the book for you. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, "Head First Ruby on Rails" is a multi-sensory experience designed for the way that your brain works. We'll take you through the basics of the Ruby language, and the nuances of the Rails development environment, with a healthy dose of object-oriented programming tossed in for good measure. Creating functional applications through the book you'll move on to more complex topics such as database relationships, testing, security considerations, and even some web services, Ajax, and XML.
David Griffiths began programming at age 12, after being inspired by a documentary on the work of Seymour Papert. At age 15 he wrote an implementation of Papert's computer language LOGO. After studying Pure Mathematics at University, he began writing code for computers, and magazine articles for humans.
