I started two weeks ago with rails and im amazed of what can be done in  
a short time, i already finished the agile development with rails and  
some of the tutorials at the documentation section of the  
[rubyonrails.com](http://rubyonrails.com) site.

But i realize that many of the tutos and examples around the web and  
books are using earlier versions of rails (0.x.x) and some of that code  
and coding practices are deprecated now, more now that rails 1.1 is out.

So my question is, where i can find actual info about rails, cause some  
of the apps that i create following the web tutos now have errors, and  
worst maybe are running without problems but not with the best way and  
using actual sintax and coding practices.

I see that many of the people that are starting with rails feel the same  
way, hope someone give me a hand and point me in the right direction,  
cause i think im in love, php was just an affair.

Regards, Ana 😉

There’s no time like the present to get involved and help out. As you  
walk through existing tutorials, make notes about how and where they  
break and what to do instead. Then work on rewriting the parts to be  
fresh with 1.1 and help us improve.

## We need the input of newcomers to keep the welcome fresh.

This mailing list is about the best possible reference for new Rails.  
You  
hit a snag, you ask here, one (or more!) of the core team will most  
likely  
answer your question. Then you can update the docs to match.
