Can anyone recommend a good source for Ruby On Rails documentation  
that describes the engineering behind the automation of the HTML form  
generation and database access process. Most of the publications I  
have seen are pitched at application developers rather than sys  
admins.

Thanks.

Patrick.

Ezra Z. is writing a book on Rails deployment for the  
Pragmatic Programmers. That’s probably going to be the definitive  
resource for sysadmins.
