Useful Rails 2 tutorials
If you are starting out with Ruby on Rails you’ll probably find yourself working on the depot application from the current edition of the book “Agile Web development with Rails”. However if you have Rails 2 installed you’ll quickly run into problems. The current edition of “Agile Web Development with Rails” supports rails 1.X. However with the release of Rails 2 key changes in the framework render the instructions for creating the depot application obsolete.
To get up to speed you should find the following tutorials useful, the first 2 deal with the rails 2 method of creating a basic depot application while along the way showcasing the new features of Rails2.

I’ve also found this next PDF informative. It costs 9 dollars but for that you get 140 odd pages of Rails2 goodness that should fill the void until they get around to updating “”Agile Web Development with Rails”
