very nice, i learned rails with your tutorial(great videos!) and now being a Rails dev (i migrated from hardcore backend c++) it will be nice to revisit it! thanks a lot!
The original videos were the first screencast series I ever finished. Being fairly new to server-side development, I often get distracted around the 4th or 5th videos in these learning series. Yours were captivating to me because I was actually building an application or learning a development process every step of the way. Sometimes tutorials wander too far off into the theory mid-way and I start to lose focus.
It started to be hard for me to keep up around the middle of chapter 6 when authentication is introduced, but with the new built-in authentication now, I imagine I'll have a better time keeping up this go around.
Thanks so much - I've been teaching myself rails from the first edition of your tutorial. I made it about halfway through and was spending a ton of time trying to fix the app for heroku commits. Upon realizing that there was a second edition in the works, I've started over again from the beginning of the newer ed.
Anyways - this is the first tutorial I've followed where I feel like I'm actually learning and maintaining concepts. It seems like every other language tutorial I've followed in the past has gone in one ear and out the other. You rock for making something so interesting, educational and easy to follow.
