CSCI E-168

I wrote a review for my blog of the new book Pro Active Record; the review is here: http://7fff.com/2007/11/09/pro-active-record-book-review/

I can recommend it to students who have done lots of relational and/or another ORM framework, but it might be tough-going for beginners, and, as I say in the review, it has gaps.

Meanwhile, the other day I skimmed Beginning Rails by Hardy, et al., also on APress, and it’s surprisingly good, at least in the bits I focused on. I haven’t looked closely at the sections on ActiveRecord, but if anyone is reading it, I’d be curious to know what you think.
