I am a Ruby/Rails newby, currently reading "Simply Rails 2" by Patrick Lenz. While I am finding it worthwhile I was hoping others could recommend other good books and online tutorials for learning Rails. I have read up about Ruby online, so I think I know enough Ruby for the time being. In some ways the strength of Rails is also its weakness, at least for a newby, as it is a little difficult to piece together everything Rails does so well under the hood. Thanks

I found the following articles on Rails routing useful, particularly the last two: "A Brief Introduction to REST" http://www.infoq.com/articles/rest-introduction "An Introduction to REST" http://bitworking.org/news/373/An-Introduction-to-REST "Representational State Transfer" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer "How to GET a Cup of Coffee" http://www.infoq.com/articles/webber-rest-workflow "Rails Routing from the Outside In" http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html Hope the above is useful to others.
