Hi, guys. I’m so happy to join this group. I’m new to ROR. And I haven’t learned or used any other program langueage before. I’m intrest in develop web-based database-driven prgramming. My company need to develop a bussiness management system recently. I wanna use ROR for a try. So, where should I start? In another words, what books or resources should I read? ---

I’d start by watching the rails screencast where a sample blog app is built. Next check out Agile Web D. with Rails. It’s pretty good, and comes with some exercises that you can follow along with. ---

Also, if you have _never_ programmed before, Chris P.'s “Learn to Program” is a pleasure to read and provides just enough to get started with Ruby, the language in which the Rails framework is written. Cheers Mohit. ---
