Foundation Rails 2 by Eldon Alameda
As an introduction to this book, I thought I'd start out by telling you my own story of how I came to Ruby and Rails. In the summer of 2005, I had been doing web development for a n- ber of years. At that point in my career, the primary language that I used was PHP, but oc- sionally, I would venture into the Java and .NET programming realms for projects. I remember the time clearly, because it was just before my first trip to Disney World, a trip I wanted to take to get away from web development for a little while. You see, at that point, I had really begun to question if I had made a mistake when I chose to be a web developer. Building web applications was just no longer fun and had actually become monotonous and boring to me. All my projects had blurred together to the point that I felt that I was simply reimpleme- ing the same things again and again.
