[ajug-members] Can anyone recommend a book for learningRubyonRails?

[Joe Sam Shirah]

    With such a strong view, I assume you have equally strong business and
technical reasons to support it.  My advice, guaranteed to be worth what you
paid for it, is to lay them out and take your case to boss, staff, team or
whoever forced you away.

    I can only say, without dumping on other frameworks, that I am happy
and, more importantly, my clients are happy.
