An excellent resource in a wilderness of hell,
Hartl, with this book as well as the first venture, takes the reader by the hand and gently guides him/her/it/them/monkeybacon through the world of ruby and ruby on rails with the excitement and ease a master has when taking students along for a ride.
I have a collection of books and tutorials and, WITHOUT FAIL, each and every one of them ends somewhere with some sort of mistake in code that I’ve never been able to get over (including the first book by Hartl, by the way). Not so with this one. I completed the project outlined in this book. First time that’s happened with any of the other books/tutorials.
As I am a functioning idiot, this is no mean feat. It is quite an accomplishment. Not by me, but by the author.
If you are able to view the tutorial videos, those will make your life that much better.
Buy it. Now.

Great book but poor Kindle version,
Though the Kindle edition is awful, the excellent content is accessible on web pages for free at […]. There, one can also purchase a (fully searchable) PDF version directly from the author.
I don’t know whether it’s Amazon’s or the publisher’s fault, but the Kindle edition of this book is a complete waste of money.

Simply best-in-class,
Mr. Hartl has also put together an outstanding series of screencasts, comprising over 15-hours of video, providing an inside look into an advanced user’s coding process. The screencasts pay dividends well above their investment of time and money.
A cursory examination of Mr. Hartl’s resume, including his teaching awards in physics at Caltech, will evidence his great talent for simplifying the complex. Having explored this book among a half-dozen of its peers, I can attest that it is indeed best-in-class.
