A List Apart #257

A List Apart, Issue #257, has two articles on Ruby on Rails. Both articles are targeted toward Rails beginners and curious designers who may have heard the buzz but few details.
The information may be old news for many developers, but both articles are up-to-date, well-written introductions that are still worth bookmarking. Save them for the next time a beginner asks you for an explanation. Forward them to co-workers who don’t understand what you’ve been raving about. Print them out and leave them laying around so your most earnest PHP/.NET/Java friends can sneak a peak at them when no one is looking. Maybe they can even help explain to your parents/friends/significant-other what you do for a living.
