Video Tutorials for Ruby on Rails

Question

I come from a programming background and am familiar with C++, Java etc I am starting out with ROR and I learn by doing things. So reading books is not my thing.

I am learning using the Ruby on Rails Video Tutorials from Lynda.com however they are using Ruby2. What are the video resources available for Ruby 3?

I like the fast pace books like - Sams Teach Yourself Series but thats a last resort if I cant find any good video tutorials.

---

Example : The new ROR uses the following :

rails generate

While the old one does :

rails script/generate

Its confusing for someone starting out which to follow. Any insights on this?

Thanks for all your comments. I am learning ROR now

Answer 1

In my opinion, the best site there is for RoR is railscasts by Ryan Bates. He posts a new screencast every monday.

Answer 2

You could also take a look at Peepcode which doesn't only provides screencasts about ruby.
But they're all of great quality.

Answer 3

The Rails Guides are a great way to get started. Personally I would start by doing this guide/tutorial:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

There is a screencast that basically follows this guide here:
