Awesome Fresh Rails Documentation To Enjoy
It seems that some rather good writers have been very busy, because as if from no-where, a whole batch of awesome new Rails manuals (seemingly up to Rails 2.1 standards) have made an appearance at http://guides.rails.info/
There are no credits, but the content is all of a high quality. Including:
- Getting Started With Rails - a walkthrough of what a Rails app contains and how to get started
- A Guide to Active Record Associations - an in-depth look at associations, from belongs_to through to has_many :through
- Migrations - perhaps the most comprehensive migration related documentation I've seen yet
- Rails Routing From The Outside In - another in-depth guide, this time on routes and routing - packed with examples
- and, naturally, more..
These guides are of a high quality and bound to be of use to all Rails developers - novice to expert.
This post is sponsored by AlphaSights Ltd - AlphaSights are recruiting. If you're looking for a Ruby on Rails opportunity, can work in Cambridge, UK and enjoy the buzz of a brand new well-funded startup then look no further. AlphaSights are recruiting from entry level to senior positions and offer very competitive salaries and a great working environment.

Awesome! Any chance to have the source code for the documentation site available? I would love to start a translation process (for brazilian portuguese). Congrats for the effort!
