This book does a great job of stepping you through the construction of a real world project. It not only tells you how to do things but why certain approaches are taken. For Ruby on Rails newbies (like me), the authors also provide some great insight into how ruby developers approach projects and the culture in general. I've read about 2/3 of this book and haven't had to write a line of code myself in order to understand what's going on. Very valuable.
