Apple makes a concise Ruby on Rails tutorial

developer.apple.com — Apple has put up a very concise tutorial on building web apps using Rails. It gives a more complete view of Rails than I have seen in other getting-started tutorials and also shows some much better practices like migrations to build the database instead of raw, unportable SQL.

Digg++Its great to see Steve Jobs, the inventor of Ruby on Rails, write a tutorial on it.

dugg. I'd like to add my vote for locomotive (for development on the mac). It will (rather quickly) let you start learning RoR without having to deal with the whole "Apple's version of Ruby is old/broken/teh sux0rz" issue.
