The Art of Rails not only a great Rails book, but it is a great web development book. It's very first chapter should be read by every web developer. It clearly explains how the web started, the choices that were made, and where it is today.
These types of broad insights are what you'd expect from a top CS curriculum. The kind of insights that explain why you are doing what you doing, instead of just how.
I just wish I read this book when I very first started programming for the web.

I really enjoyed this book. (Of course, I enjoy most tech books because you can always pick up new information or a different/better slant on something you thought you already knew.)
It is obvious Edward knows his stuff, and he has a knack for describing and explaining difficult concepts.
I especially liked his coverage of AJAX, Methods and Messages, Procs and Blocks, and Mixins.
Good book, Edward. Thanks for writing it!
