I was wondering if there are any sites/resources out there with full ROR apps that I could download and look through. I still have a lot to learn and find that looking through other “creations” is helpful. Thanks, Sunny ---

Hellston&Laine’s E-Commerce book is also useful but is aging and would benefit from a rewrite using RESTful routing and other 1.2isms.
