Free Ruby On Rails Ebook From SitePoint

October 6th, 2007

Just a quick heads-up on a Ruby on Rails giveaway SitePoint are offering for a couple of months; it’s an ebook entitled, Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications. This isn’t just some cut-down freebie they’ve concocted in order to build a mailing list, but a full 447-page commercial (e)book.

Testament to just how popular the offer is, the large number of attempted downloads brought the SitePoint website down.

Even if you’re not currently developing with Ruby, it’s worth downloading the ebook now as you’ve only 56-days left to get it for free! If you prefer real books for this kind of thing then you can also get $10 off the cost of a hard copy.

    By the way, if you’re looking for an easy way to get a Ruby on Rails environment set-up quickly then Instant Rails might be what you’re looking for.

    I bought the book at the local Borders bookstore store a couple of months ago after struggling with the Pragmatic titles. Lenz’s book is a really good introduction to the topic.

    Thanks for airing your thoughts on the book, John!
