Hello friends i need a book/ tutorials for rails without using scoffold. All the books mentioned in the other questions are creating some depot application or etc using scaffold and then explaining things. I believe in the thing that creating big depot is worthless when you are not getting anything. All of my frnds are suggesting me to go for this pragmatic book. look i understand the book is good but i m not getting the proper things. I got the logic cause i m good in php doctrine. asp.net c c++ so i m getting the things but i m not feeling confident. I want to have a another book. Can anybody suggest me some other books. I m saying this cause it really feels good when u create a simple form and insert the values in db and u can retreive those values and MOST IMP you can explain the whole logic of the that small form application instaed of that colorfull Depot application in which things are done with scaffold and u r not getting the thing and u are confused abt the real picture.

R they creating a application cause i m in favour of writing small small forms instead of one colorful app.. Cause things are more clear when u break the things...

No, they are not. The guides are autonomous and useful on their own. You don't need to read everything either.

@piemesons: then don't do tutorial. All what is done with scaffolding, can be done with `script/generate` `model` and `controller`. Type `script/generate model` to get some help or look for it on google. Tutorials are using scaffolding because it is the simplest and the fastest way to create everything. And it's the best place to start. Create one model with scaffold and dig through it. All it does is just creating model, migration, controller and views automaticaly. You can achive the same by creating it by hand.

In some of the tutorials they are, but most of them don't feature scaffolding. It's hard to teach view concepts with scaffolds. There are just a feature for the impatient to get them hooked.

+1 from me - nice tip. It's good to see that PeepCode has some free alternatives.

AWDWR is the best. But if you want to go for some other book I suggest Learning Rails.
Its simple and easy to understand. After that you can go ahead with AWDWR.

If you don't like the building-a-depot part of Agile Web Development with Rails, what you can do is jump to the third part, "Working with the Rails Framework", and learn every part of Rails with a lot of details.
