[LRUG] Beginning Rails in 2012

[Alan Buxton]

+1 for Objects On Rails. 

For me part of the learning process is to get excited about what you're
learning. So I prefer to start "in the middle" - i.e. with a real-ish
application rather than learning all the abstract building blocks first. I
started learning Rails off "Practical Social Networking Sites" by Alan
Bradburne back in the day which was great and suited me far better than
Agile Development with Rails or the other books around at the time that I
also ended up having a look at. Of couse Objects On Rails assumes knowledge
of Rails and Ruby but IMHO you can look those things up as you work your way
through.

I breezed through http://objectsonrails.com/ yesterday and found it quite
fresh and quite clear for building things in a more domain-driven way.
