app/view/book/new.rhtml

the
following error

Start_form_tag and end_form_tag were deprecated in Rails 2.0. Use Rails
3 documentation to see the proper use of form_tag.

In addition if you are using an ancient tutorial then stop and find an
up to date one that uses Rails 3. The free online one at
railstutorial.org is not bad.

As Bryan said those were deprecated and presumably are now no longer
there, so yes I expect so.

The link which you suggessted for tutorials provide stuff paid!Is there
any good free tutorials for RoR?

It is free to use online (rather than downloading complete tutorial).
Click in the first paragraph of railstutorial.org where it says
‘available for free online’.

I suggest you upgrade to Rails 3 first though. There is no point
starting with an out of date version (2.3.8) unless you need to
maintain legacy code.
