For Ruby books, checkout my page here: * Recommended Ruby Books (http://antoniocangiano.com/ruby-and-rails-recommended-books/) I have not updated the Rails page yet, but you should be fine with: * Agile Web Development with Rails, Third Edition (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-... (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition)) Other books you may want to consider afterward are: * The Art of Rails (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Rails-Programmer/dp/0470189487) * Enterprise Rails (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596515201/).
