I have some web forms and a mysql database with matching fields. I am trying to put them together. What I want to do is user to enter info into forms, put info in db tables, need a script to add metadata to various fields, before and after entered text, and output an xml document.

Scaffold the whole thing, and just add your additional code where you need it. I bootstrapped myself in RoR with the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book from The Pragmatic Programmers.

Try our training class for newcomers to Ruby and Rails: essentialrails.com. It''s coming up in September. We cover the basics of the Rails MVC architecture, ActiveRecord usage, and more, and is especially aimed at those coming from another framework (.net, php, etc.) or if you''ve never done any web development before at all. If you can''t make it, I suggest starting with Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd edition book, or Ruby for Rails. Both are excellent books to help you get started.
