Ruby and Ruby on Rails Books
The Unofficial Ruby on Rails blog has a list of 8 upcoming Ruby on Rails books. It’s a good list but unfortunately the list is incomplete.
I’ve compiled a list of all the Ruby and Ruby on Rails books that I know of. If there is a second edition of a version of the way, I’ll only list that in the upcoming section (with the exception of the book co-authored by DHH). There is no need to get books that are on their way out.
