Rails

Ok, hi people, I am new on this forum. Umm, I am and Experienced Java
programer. And I know Ruby. But, I have never used Ruby On Rails. I have
found few books for rails… can you tell me which one is the best to
start. Once again, I must say, I know ruby language itself…

Here are the books:

I don’t know about those books, but if you want to learn online then
have a look at railstutorial.org, which is free to use online, or you
can pay and download the pdf and get access to other stuff.

If you know about Ruby you likely know about rvm, which is definitely
worth using with Rails. In fact I would say that it is obligatory.
