My first exposure to Rails was that screencast. I didn''t actually *use* Rails for another year, but it impressed me and gave me the confidence to make the switch. The new screencast will need to incorporate DHH''s "WHOOPS!" somehow. ;) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Ryan, Yes I agree, that would be a great idea... One thought - are you familiar with the four part tutorial covering RoR 2.0 and then onto 2.1 for parts 3 & 4. They can be found here... http://www.akitaonrails.com/2008/2/1/rolling-with-rails-2-0-pdf-version & here http://www.akitaonrails.com/2008/5/25/rolling-with-rails-2-1-the-first-full-tutorial-part-1 cheers, Dave Porter On Jul 25, 5:53 am, Jeremy Weiskotten <rails-mailing-l...@andreas- s.net> wrote:> Ryan Bigg wrote: > > Ever since Rails 2.0 has come out, the 15 minute tutorial on the site > > that is so popular is broken.

I''m familiar with those written tutorials, but I was just expressing my feelings about the video on the main site being broken. Maybe we could convince the other Ryan (Bates) to redo the 15-minute blog tutorial himself? Now that would be pretty frickin'' sweet.

Oh and one more point, the 15 minute blog tutorial doesn''t cover what I deem to be one of the best things in Rails: migrations. Instead, it uses mysqladmin, which isn''t really that nice of a way to ensure you have a backup of your database if things go south. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
