    The book on this website is the same as the book on Amazon (though sometimes Amazon is slow to update the book). The Amazon book is only available in a Kindle version and costs 99 cents.

  • What is the difference between Book One and Book Two?

    Book One covers basic concepts and provides a study guide for learning Rails. It introduces the culture and practices of the Rails community. It also provides a strategy for bridging the gap between following tutorials and writing your own applications. Book One can be read at leisure with a tablet or smartphone, without a computer. Book Two requires working at a computer, following a step-by-step tutorial.

  • Are the books up to date?

    Book One describes current practices in Rails development, including the newest Rails 5 version. The Book Two tutorial is written for the latest stable version of Rails. It is accompanied by an example application on GitHub that is kept up to date.
