The new rails isn''t as different as it seems - it''s just that
all the
differences seem to be magnified by the scaffolding.  The only real
difference is the greater emphasis on restful routing, and some new
conventions for controller actions.  But like i say if you''re using
scaffolding it''s very hard to follow.

In your case i''d recommend using the older version of rails to follow
the tutorials.  Then, find some RESTful rails tutorials on the net and
follow them using the newer rails - you will stand a much better chance
of understanding what you are doing.
