If you are like me, and you are wondering what all the hype is about Ruby on Rails is, you should visit the Akita on Rails Website. I admit that I have not read much about it, but I did install it, and created a small database driven website. It was very cool because I basically created the whole thing with very few lines of code. But that is as far as I got.

Version 2.0 was released recently, and there are already a lot of great tutorials popping up around the net. Akita has done a couple of great tutorials, and a screencast that is done very well, and will help you understand RoR. These articles are geared toward people who already know Rails 1.2, so if you are just a beginner looking to start out, this is not a good place to start.
