What is a good tutorial / reference for developing apps using Ruby on Rails 2.3.5

I'm开发者_运维技巧 specifically looking for 'Getting Started' or 'Cookbook' that deals with RoR 2.3.5. It's primarily because my webhost supports RoR 2.3.5 and not the latest and greatest - 3.0 Pointers would be appreciated to docs!

As @Markus said railstutorial.org is the best resource for getting started with rails (2 and 3).

HOWEVER, I highly recommend starting with Rails 3. It's a big change going from 2 to 3 and might as well start with the best that's currently out there.

Also, the fact that your current webhost supports rails 2 shouldn't be an issue since you can host small sites on Heroku for free. And what do ya know, railstutorial.org will teach you how to use Heroku as well.

You can switch between Rails 3 and Rails 2.3 on the right.

you can find any kind of tutuorial/screencast here.

www.peepcode.com. Not free, but not expensive either. Very good tutorials about rails 2
