Kumar K, prepare to be frustrated.

I’m somewhat new to Rails as well, and here’s what I know.

All the books about Ruby on Rails are for versions before Rails 2. From what I can see, there were some pretty significantly changes in Rails, at least, significant enough to make the code from those books not work properly.

You’ll either have to a.) learn how to install the older version of Rails for the book your working on and freeze it so it doesn’t update, or b.) spend half your time scouring through forum posts to see how to update the code for the book you’re working through to Rails 2.

I hope that helps. I’m as frustrated as can be with Rails at the moment, so take my words with that grain of salt.

However, I’ll add that when it works, Rails is exhilarating to learn and make applications with. So, it’s worth the effort.
