That’s useful, thanks.
Nice list of resources. Thanks
Wow, I’m pretty new to rails and the community, resources and mentors out there (or right here) never fail to astonish me.
my favorite place to study the new features of Rails 3. Thanks
Thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback!
I purchased “Rails 3 in action” meap, from Yehuda: he is a core contributor both to Rails and Datamapper: I was really interested in datamapper, more than in Rails 3. The book is still in really early stage. meap for Manning publications means that that there is no book, only some chapters (often referred to merb, actually).
I’m sincerely frustrated by the impossibility to have at least a complete draft of the book, now that Rails 3 beta is out.
How many chapters have they added so far?
You might also consider checking out http://guides.rails.info which is targeting Rails 3
I just did a presentation at local ruby group you may or may not want to add. :)
