On Behalf Of Dave T.: #Somewhere out there there’s a decent answer, and I’m a-waiting’ This may not be decent, but i see more and more people clamoring for uptodate manuals/books/docs on rails. I think it is a very good (if not great) sign that rails (and the rails community) is exploding in growth. what i’m trying to get into is: I think it is high time that we have a Rails magazine or journal of some sort. Not too expensive yet very handy, very updated… kind regards -botp #Dave ---

Actually, better than a magazine would be a good set of annotated documentation hosted at the main site ([rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org)). That was a strong driving force in the PHP community, and I think it would go a long way toward helping newbies on rails. [railsmanual.org](http://railsmanual.org) is okay, but it lacks a “getting started” section. All you have is an alphabetical listing of method and class names, without dividing them into common categories or tags, and you don’t have anything for a beginner getting started in rails. It would be great to have those additions to the current manual. That would make it a truly valuable research. > This may not be decent, but i see more and more people clamoring for > uptodate > manuals/books/docs on rails.
