A good way to learn is to buy a book that teaches you Ruby on Rails(ROR). As luck would have it, sitepoint just made their beginning ROR book available free for download. You can read reviews at [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) here: [http://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Ruby-Rails-Applications/dp/0975841955](http://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Ruby-Rails-Applications/dp/0975841955) And you can download the book for free here: > **[SitePoint Forums | Web Development & Design Community](https://www.sitepoint.com/community/)** > > A community for web designers and developers to discuss everything from HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, to Photoshop, SEO and more. ---
