I love the fact that the book's target audience matches me to a "t". From the Preface: "Ruby on Rails: Up and Running is for experienced developers who are new to Rails and possibly to Ruby."


I've generally had good experiences with O'Reilly books so I felt confident that my high expectations of this book would be met. Unfortunately I found the author brushes over a lot of content which leaves many unanswered questions in the reader's mind. This book seems to be a draft more than a finished product. I would definitely take a look at a second edition of this book; what has been written was written well and hopefully a second edition will pad out the content and explanations a bit more.
