My <i>Ruby on Rails Tutorial</i> book isn't finished yet, but the first five chapters are done, with a sixth to be released this coming week. Check it out at<p><a href="http://www.railstutorial.org/book" rel="nofollow">http://www.railstutorial.org/book</a><p>and let me know what you think.<p>N.B. Most of the other resources recommended on this thread assume that you already know the basics of Rails; <i>Ruby on Rails Tutorial</i> aims to give you exactly the foundation you need to move on to these more advanced materials.
