Praise for Michael Hartl’s Books and Videos on Ruby on Rails “My
former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to
Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP.
(Google me to read about the drama.) This book by Michael Hartl
came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on
Rails(TM) Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails
again.”
—From the Foreword by Derek Sivers (sivers.org)
Formerly: founder of CD Baby
Currently: founder of Thoughts Ltd. “Michael Hartl’s Rails Tutorial
book is the #1 (and only, in my opinion) place to start when it
comes to books about learning Rails. . . . It’s an amazing piece of
work and, unusually, walks you through building a Rails app from
start to finish with testing. If you want to read just one book and
feel like a Rails master by the end of it, pick the Ruby on
Rails(TM) Tutorial.”
—Peter Cooper, editor, Ruby Inside “Michael Hartl’s Ruby on
Rails(TM) Tutorial seamlessly taught me about not only Ruby on
Rails, but also the underlying Ruby language, HTML, CSS, a bit of
JavaScript, and even some SQL—but most importantly it showed me how
to build a web application (Twitter) in a short amount of
time.”
—Mattan Griffel, co-founder & CEO of One Month “Although I’m a
Python/Django developer by trade, I can’t stress enough how much
this book has helped me. As an undergraduate, completely detached
from industry, this book showed me how to use version control, how
to write tests, and, most importantly—despite the steep learning
curve for setting up and getting stuff running—how the end result
of perseverance is extremely gratifying. It made me fall in love
with technology all over again. This is the book I direct all my
friends to who want to start learning programming/building stuff.
Thank you, Michael!”
—Prakhar Srivastav, software engineer, Xcite.com, Kuwait “It has to
be the best-written book of its type I’ve ever seen, and I can’t
recommend it enough.”
—Daniel Hollands, administrator of Birmingham.IO “For those wanting
to learn Ruby on Rails, Hartl’s Ruby on Rails(TM) Tutorial is (in
my opinion) the best way to do it.”
—David Young, software developer and author at deepinthecode.com
“This is a great tutorial for a lot of reasons, because aside from
just teaching Rails, Hartl is also teaching good development
practices.”
—Michael Denomy, full-stack web developer “Without a doubt, the
best way I learned Ruby on Rails was by building an actual working
app. I used Michael Hartl’s Ruby on Rails(TM) Tutorial, which
showed me how to get a very basic Twitter-like app up and running
from scratch. I cannot recommend this tutorial enough; getting
something up and going fast was key; it beats memorization by a
mile.”
—James Fend, serial entrepreneur, JamesFend.com “The book gives you
the theory and practice, while the videos focus on showing you in
person how it’s done. Highly recommended combo.”
—Antonio Cangiano, software engineer, IBM “The author is clearly an
expert at the Ruby language and the Rails framework, but more than
that, he is a working software engineer who introduces best
practices throughout the text.”
—Gregory Charles, principal software developer at Fairway
