def list
@contacts = Contact.find_all
end
def show

Your tutorial is 3 and a half years old. Rails has changed
tremendously since then. A lot of that information in that tutorial
doesn’t cover how newer versions of rails do it or just won’t work
anymore.

  1. altered in

class ContactController < ApplicationController
model :contact
scaffold :contact
end

Errors:

model is unknown.
Both the model and scaffold methods were removed

@contact = Contact.new(@params['contact'])

C:/Ruby/AddressBook/app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb:16: syntax
error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND

If you indent that file properly it should be clear that you are
indeed missing an ‘end’

Ruby on Rails 2.2.2 is the current stable release of Rails.

That should get you started. Also from those links, look for other
related links and get to know the community of Rails developers. Find
and read their blogs. There is a ton of really good information out
there, once you know where to start looking.
