Yeah the Ruby Essential training is 1.8.6 and Ruby on Rails Essential 
training is 1.9.2 and 3.0.0. I've already been caught out by the changes to 
migrations but didn't really cause any problems after reading the rails 
guide on migrations.

I'll be taking a look at all the suggestions tonight, I'm actually quite 
excited about starting with a new language.

Are there any personal blogs for well known members of the community that 
are worth a look.

I'm coming from a ColdFusion background and enjoy reading blogs like 
Raymond Camden's and Ben Nadal's where they regularly posts how too's and 
ask Ray/Ben type things.

Thanks, Richard
