What books helped you learn Rails?
tptacek: Don't learn Rails. Learn Sinatra. You can pick up everything you need to know to build complex web apps in Ruby off three pages:* http://www.sinatrarb.com/intro.html* http://datamapper.org/getting-started.html* http://datamapper.org/docs/create_and_destroy.htmlI'm not saying Sinatra is better than Rails (although, for some problem spaces...). What I am saying is that once you've mastered Sinatra, which will take a day or two, everything in Rails will make 10x more sense. And, in particular, you'll avoid some major pitfalls that catch Rails newcomers, like relying on scaffolding and generators,  or reaching for plugins for simple problems, or overdesigning your application.
