Getting a bit frustrated with the documentation of RoR I ask you if you can recommend a good tutorial that I’ve missed 🙂 The current problem that I’m stuck with is forms and list and how to display or not to display columns. ---

Agile Web D. with Rails is as good as you’re going to get. And very good it is too - [http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/) Aside from that, there’s a few tutorials kicking around, just need to do a search and hundreds will make their presence known. * * * Alastair M.

Search for “Rails tutorial example” in google and a bunch of good ones will appear. Some are outdated, and need some updating love, but some are based on Rails 1.1.x. Seek and you will find. There are plenty out there! – (\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* - Peter H.

Mr. Neighborly’s Ruby and Rails is way better, but unfortunately not complete. Thanks. ---

You’ll be able to get better help if you can describe your problem in more detail, including what you tried (source code), what it did, and what you expected it to do. You’ve basically said, “It’s broken,” which isn’t a whole lot to go on. I see in a later email that you’ve read, or at least have looked at, the Agile book. Modifying your views is covered pretty well in there, which leads me to believe that you’re running into a Ruby problem rather than something specific to Rails. Displaying a column, or not, should be trivial assuming you know some basic Ruby. Again, you haven’t really provided enough detail to give a good answer. – James ---
