Steve I am glad you got back into it, I believe this is a very worthwhile framework. One major difference between using the rails framework over other frameworks is that you can not solve a problem by throwing more code at it. When using this framework it really pays to take the time and to think about your problem before you jump right into it and code to fix the problem. You have to understand your problem and put the correct solution to it. The tutorials posted above are great, there is no doubt about it. Curt Hibbs' tutorials are what really got me interested in Rails the idea of having a 30 minute development cycle is great. Scaffolding mixed with ActiveRecord is really amazing, but this only takes you so far. There are some powerful features that tend to not get mentioned often in the tutorials. The baked in testing, the database migration/versioning, the before after and around filters, the security from SQL injection, this is all really great stuff, and this is the stuff that makes rails great. But this take a time investment to understand these concepts in the rails way. It is one thing to know what testing, and database versioning and migration is, but it is another thing to learn how to do it the way the rails designers want you to do it.
