So ActiveResource is part of Rails 2.0, right? As I contemplate moving  
from Rails 1.2.x to Rails 2.0, I figure I should figure out what’s up  
with it. The blog posts here and there I see are confusing me. The  
AWDWR tutorial worked great for me learning Rails 1.2.x. How do people  
learn ActiveResource in Rails 2.x? The only mentions of a tutorial I  
can find on the web seem to lead to a page that is no longer a tutorial.  
Does an ActiveResoruce tutorial exist anywhere? What’s the best way to  
learn what’s up with it?

Thanks for any advice,

Jonathan

It’s not out yet, but when it comes out I’m sure it will cover it:
