Welcome to RailsSpace!
Just starting RailsSpace? We recommend replacing the Rails installation command on page 15 with the following:
Windows:> gem install rails -v 1.2.3 --include-dependenciesMac & Linux:
$ sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3 --include-dependencies
This will install the version of Rails that was available when we wrote RailsSpace. The book is guaranteed to work with this version of Rails, which will enhance your learning experience and give you an outstanding foundation in Rails programming.
Once you've finished reading RailsSpace, you'll be ready to tackle Rails 2.0. At that point, read over the Rails version compatibility note and search the RailsSpace Google Group for the answers to any questions you might have.
Good luck, and happy Railsing!
