Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2

In 15 minutes, we go from scratch to complete weblog engine with comments, ajax, an ATOM feed, an XML and JSON API, tests, an administrative interface, and much more! We strongly advise that you sit down before starting this whirlwind tour. Your head may well be spinning at the end. Come along for the Ruby on Rails ride.

If you're interested in the history of Rails, we also still have the screencasts made for Ruby on Rails 0.5 and for Ruby on Rails 1.0.

More free screencasts from Railscasts.com

If the screencast above got you interested in learning more by video, you can find a treasure trove of great content at Railscasts.com. It's all about short, sweet videos that show you how to use various features of Rails and they're done by the same fantastic Ryan Bates that did the video above.

Also checkout the Ruby on Rails podcast show for interviews with people and the Rails Envy Podcast for keeping up to date with the latest libraries and news from the Rails world.
