Hi all, Since I just switched from Python to Ruby, I''m looking for some good tutorials to start with. I have googled a lot and found some lists of tutorials, like 12 in http://hpricot.blogspot.com/2007/11/top-12-ruby-tutorials.html or 30 in http://webdeveloper.econsultant.com/ruby-rails-tutorials/ Have you ever used any of them? I''d love to hear your advice!

I''d love to hear your advice!Do yourself a favour and get a copy of ''Agile Web Development with rails''. Part of it is building up a sample app, but there''s loads more good stuff too.

I''m usually a huge Apress fan, but the Apress Beginning Ruby book (Cooper) did not float my boat.
