Man oh man am i excited about Rails. I just wanted to give a special shout out to the Rails community and list some resources where you might learn from.
A Special Shout out to:
Amy Hoy: Amy is an interface designer and developer from Maryland. She has an attractive style of writing and gives alot of information about Rails + interface design on her blog at Slash7. Check her out, you won’t regret it => she has some great content and cheat sheets.
RubyAdvent: An Advent calender type for the Rails community. I especially liked this post: Generating (Real) Fake Content. but don’t take my word for it head over and check it out yourself and give up some of that comment love. The RubyAdvent is written by Lakshan Perera. You can visit his blog here: http://www.web2media.net/laktek/
Andy Jeffries: A professional Zend Certified Engineer and was the first person that recommended Rails to me. At that time (not too long ago) I was hunting around for info on PHP frameworks namely Symfony and CakePHP. Read some of his posts here:
- Why I think Ruby on Rails is an ideal web development environment.
- Design Patterns vs Agile Development.
- Rebuilding a site from Symfony to Rails.
- 4 Reasons Why Ruby Syntax Is Better Than PHP’s.

Glad to know that you liked the Ruby Advent series. It was not just a my effort, there were lot of contributions for the series from renowned Ruby hackers all around the world..
@Guys you are most welcome!
@Lakshan ya i’m sure that there where many contributors. Thank you and everyone in the Rails community for sharing. I talk to whoever i can about Ruby/Rails but over here most peeps don’t get it. I’m sure they will get developing a small app in less than 30 minutes!!!!! Nevertheless onward I go….
