Hi, I just heard about REST capabilities of rails 1.1. Does anyone know a good tutorial, or good article to begin with? Thank you ---

I’d recommend the book Agile Web D. with Rails 2nd edition, still beta. You can get the pdf though from [pragmaticprogrammer.com](http://pragmaticprogrammer.com). The latest edition has a good section on REST as well as a walkthrough on a simple app. Stuart ---

In the latest revision of Agile Web D. with Rails (beta book PDF) there are probably 10+ pages on it, it’s the best content I’ve seen on it. In my latest app I’m using Restful Authentication [1] and crudgenerator2 [2] to try out Restful architecture.

Do you perhaps mean Rails 1.2? I don’t know about dramatic REST upgrades changes in the 1.1 release. 1.2, however, is going to have Simply Restful built in which would be a pretty big push forward for RESTful approach on Rails. If this is what you meant, check out the Simply Restful README and DHH’s RailsConf keynote[1]. – [1] [http://blog.scribestudio.com/articles/2006/07/09/david-heinemeier-hansson-railsconf-2006-keynote-address](http://blog.scribestudio.com/articles/2006/07/09/david-heinemeier-hansson-railsconf-2006-keynote-address) ---

Yes, it was about 1.2, sorry. Anything else than this keynote? ---

He is putting out some quality quicktime instructionals on various Rails projects. In my opinion, the 1 1/2 hour offering of Restful Rails is WELL worth the $9 he is charging. Highly recommended. ---
