Sorry about the shameless plug, but it’s way easier than typing it again and again on the mailing list.

Another suggestion that might make your learning easier is that you could go ahead and install the version of Rails used in the AWDWR book so you can follow along with their examples. Then after you are comfortable enough with that go out to [www.peepcode.com](http://www.peepcode.com) and grab their PDF on the new features in Rails 2.0. You should be able to set the version to use in the environment.rb so you can have both versions of Rails in your system. ## environment.rb: # Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘1.2.3’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION ---

My point being the articles you find online for earlier versions are still applicable minus a few deprecated values (just search google for those, e.g [http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2007/12/03/rails-2-upgrade-notes](http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2007/12/03/rails-2-upgrade-notes)) As for how to learn, believe it or not i found the best way was to think of something to do, and then lookup examples online. Agile i have heard is a good start. I think the best thing to keep in mind when learning from a book is that you are not getting the whole story. There is a reason why some things are plural, some things are hashed, etc. Good luck. The more examples you see, the more you will put 2 and 2 together.
