You won't be able to copy and paste code that works instantaneously though and really you shouldn't do that because you never learn what the code is doing then.

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsYeah definitely, RailsCasts has tons of great resources but mostly outdated informations, I can try to find some useful. It is tough to know that Rails are moving quickly than many outdated books/screencasts. :(
