Ruby on Rails book recommendations please

Hello and happy new year!

I would like to buy a Ruby On Rails ebook for learning purpose.

What would be the ROR equivalent of “Programming Phoenix” by Chris McCord, Bruce Tate and José Valim?

I found that book really helpful when working on various web applications in Elixir.

I’m not sure what’s the equivalent per se, but the usual Rails tutorial is Michael Hartl’s “The Ruby On Rails Tutorial”, at http://railstutorial.org/. Not sure what the latest deal is, but it used to be that you could read the previous edition online for free, and before that it was the current edition.

I am a bit rusty on Rails. It tooks me some time to rebuild a dev environment, after spending some years with Elixir… but I have a shiny ruby 3, rails 6.1 new installation.

Time to see what Ruby 3 brings to concurrency :slight_smile:
