I’ve already got the book. And others. I asked because I’ve been  
working  
(with Curt) on a new version of the ONLamp tutorial and am trying to  
decide

Thanks,  
Bill

You mean tutorials for beginners? If so, Amy Hoy has some good stuff on  
[Slash7.com](http://Slash7.com) that’s still current afaik.

Also there has been some effort at railsforum to get tutorials up to  
speed.  
They have a few now.
