Current ruby and rails resources (2010)

Question

Can you great and knowledgable programmers please point me to some current and updated Ruby/Rails blogs/sites? I am also looking for an active forum for lively discussions on ruby/rails.

I already tried to google for them but as I already mentioned on SO, many of the links on google seem to be to sites that are no longer updated.

Answer 1

I've found the following to be very useful:

Online forum: railsforum

IRC (instant answers): irc://irc.freenode.net/#rubyonrails

Video tutorials: railscasts

If you can't watch online videos: asciicasts

Answer 2

Rails Community page would be a nice start point for you.

Answer 3

I prefer RailsGuides and for asking questions and lively discussions I use SO (it is a great site, if you still don't use it, you should give it a try!)

Answer 4

New website that started for rails developers: http://railsdeveloper.com/

Great blogs are: http://railstips.org/, http://railstutorial.org/

mislav created a cool tool at GoGaRuCo called explain ruby: http://explainruby.net/

screencasts: http://teachmetocode.com/screencasts/

Answer 5

For Ruby blog aggregators, there are ruby-blogs.com and rubycorner.com.
