Sounds legit 🙂 I think that’s the way how I will do it, thank you!

I definitely need to get around to updating that page. 🙂

Regarding your question, I’m afraid Rails 5 is quite the upgrade from Rails 4, as well. It wouldn’t be a big deal if you learned Rails 4 first, and then upgraded your skills to Rails 5.

That said, here is what I suggest that you do, instead. Focus on Ruby itself. By the time a good Ruby on Rails 5 book is out, you’ll have a solid Ruby foundation to work with, which will significantly speed up the process of learning Rails. Rails 5 will require Ruby 2.2.1, but any good book on Ruby 2 will do.

Antonio, if you don’t mind I have a question that I can’t find a solid answer for.

I’m learning web app development at the moment but only grappled front end part of it – HTML/CSS/JS, and didn’t touch Ruby and RoR yet. I want to get some books on both Ruby and RoR (though there are plenty resources online I love printed books so much that can’t help it) but considering that I’m 0 in RoR, I can’t tell how significant changes in RoR 5 will be comparing to RoR 4, thus don’t know whether I should wait till new editions of Addison-Wesley Ruby series come out or I can grab books on RoR 4 and tackle them? I’m asking this because in your book recommendations I read this note for previous jump from RoR 2 to 3 – “While lot of great Ruby on Rails books out there target Rails 2, do not make the mistake of buying a Rails 2 book if you intend to develop with version 3 of the framework. Rails 3.1 features a substantial rewrite of the framework”.

Your insight on this would be helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you, Ivan.
