Personally, to get into the guts, I think you do need to understand what
blocks and yield do. Particularly why you need these pesky @ signs
everywhere, once you've got that the view/controller link becomes really
easy to understand. I remember being a little bewildered by the skateboard
book until I caught onto what was happening underneath. Too much Ruby magic.

And don't forget thin controller fat model and why it's good.

And avoiding tons of conditional code in your views by writing helpers (wish
I practised what a preach more often, usually starts with one simple if that
doesn't seem to need a helper and then grows exponentially until a rewrite
is needed).
