We will feel very sad if you don’t read /Agile Web D. with Rails/, by the Daves, before posting here again. – Phlip ---

Bearing in mind that the whole scaffolding part does not work as described since Rails 2.0. ---

I would strongly suggest that you first go to [http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/) and read the APIs for at least these classes and modules: ActiveRecord::Migration ActiveRecord::Base ActiveRecord::Validations ActionView::Base ActionView::Partials ActionController::Base ActiveResource::Base ActionController::Routing And as many of the ActionView::Helpers APIs as you can stand. If you are anything like me then the APIs will seem almost incomprehensible to begin with, but having read them will help you follow tutorials so much better. ---

Hi Jose, all: We are working on just such a beast (a full application, free, tutorial) at [http://www.buildingwebapps.com/learningrails](http://www.buildingwebapps.com/learningrails). Our audio- only podcast covers the high-level concepts (over 8 episodes), and we are now switching to a screencast that will walk through iterating on a full Rails 2.0.2 (or newer) application. BTW: this is the same podcast found at our [LearningRails.com](http://LearningRails.com) site or iTunes, if you’ve already listened to the audio portion you can jump in starting with the screencasts. There are a variety of show notes and the upcoming screencasts will have code posted. We are aiming at beginners. We hope to have the first screencast posted soon. You can subscribe to notifications at the site. -Christopher Haupt On Apr 6, 1:01 pm, James B. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
