Essential Ruby & Rails 3 Reading
Nearly two years ago, we published a round-up of the greatest Ruby and Rails learning resources available. Since then, big things have happended in the glorious world of Ruby.

You are reading the text of an O'Reilly book that's under development. The authors are publishing the book to this site as it's being written, and we're putting it here to get feedback from you. This book uses the Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS) , an O'Reilly experiment that tries to bridge the gap between private manuscripts and public blogs. Rails in a Nutshell is a concise introduction to Rails, an overview of commands and configurations, and a guide to the parts of Rails you’ll be using every day. Full of examples and explanations, this book kicks your skills into high-gear by showing you how to take advantage of the Model-View-Controller concept with tiny but expressive bits of Ruby that power some of the world’s biggest and fastest web services.

File: HAML_REFERENCE
Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the XHTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding XHTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the XHTML, with some code to generate dynamic content. Haml can be used in three ways: as a command-line tool, as a plugin for Ruby on Rails, and as a standalone Ruby module.

“Crazy Deep” Rails 3.1 Example Apps and Tutorials
“Thanks so much for this. There are so many Rails tutorials for absolute beginners, and lots of stuff that assumes expert knowledge, but not much, besides practice, to span the gap.” — Rick Quantz, HackerNews, 13 May 2011 “I would like to say thank you for such a precise guide.
My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama). This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again. Though I’ve worked my way through many Rails books, this is the one that finally made me “get” it.

Read This Before Installing Rails 3.1
Follow @rails_apps on Twitter for updates and timely Rails tips. What Was New You can read more about how the building blocks of the Rails platform work together by reading the article Managing Rails Versions and Gems . It explains the relationships among Ruby, RubyGems, Rails, Rake, Bundler, and gemfiles and offers some advice. Rails 3.1.3 Rails 3.1.3 was released November 20, 2011, mainly to fix what broke in Rails 3.1.2 (see the announcement ).
Engines have been around for a while now in some for or another, but with the release of Rails 3, they became an integral part of the framework, and IMO they make it easy for any developer to create a plugin. Rails 3.1 will make Engines even better thanks to the SOC work done by Piotr Sarnacki , but I will be focusing on what is available in Rails 3.0.3 in this post. Engine? Say what?? In case you are not familiar with Rails 3 Engines, in a nutshell… they are sub-applications that are packaged as gems and can run inside a standard Rails application. They give you most of the functionality of a standard rails app, including the controllers, views, helpers, configuration, etc… Engines lay the groundwork of having “mountable” apps in Rails.
