I wouldnt worry, it possibly the most confusing, out of date, poorly  
written Ruby on Rails info out there.

Good to know. What is the exact opposite of that: a clear, consice, up  
to  
date, well written Rails reference?

The book Agile Web D. with Rails is the best reference I have  
found. That combined with [http://api.rubyonrails.org](http://api.rubyonrails.org) is almost always

I have the skateboard book, and I’ve seen the API, but I’m confused by  
the  
appearance of #check\_box and .check\_box. I’ll start a different

for that.
