Excellent Rails book for those that learn by example

As someone who learns best by example and seeing how it's done, this book was great for me to get familiar with Rails. I have lots of experience with other object-oriented languages and have used many development frameworks. I don't need a tutorial on general object technologies, but I wanted to learn and understand the Rails framework. I don't have any real reason to get to know Rails other than general interest, but with this book I've been able to be productive in working on hobby projects much quicker than without it.

Reading this book is like having access to multiple, experienced Rails developers (including some of those contributing to the core Rails product) that have developed and deployed commercial software on this new, upcoming platform. I hope to have an opportunity to develop product in this technology and know that by owning this product I'm more prepared than ever. Highly recommended.
