If you’ve been looking for a good excuse to learn Ruby on Rails, now is a great time.

Sitepoint.com is giving away the full PDF of “Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications” through the end of the month of November. All you need to do is provide an email address and they’ll send you a link to the PDF download.

I started reading it last night, and it seems to be oriented to people familiar with building web applications but aren’t webdev pros. (If you’re the “just give me the API” kind of developer, this book is probably a little too verbose for you.) For details of what is inside, you can take a peek at the table of contents.
