I have a question,
I need to create an API for an iOS app. This API will be private, only usable with the iOS App and I don't know what framework I must to use.
Rais? Sinatra? rails-api?
What is your recommendation?
Thanks!
If you are already familiar with Rails, I'd use the Rails API gem. It customizes Rails to behave as an API, and includes several useful functionalities like versioning and serialization.
Sinatra can be good for a very simple API, but usually, you'll end up adding most of Rails back into it.
In addition to rails-api, I would take a look to Grape gem
You can use it on top of Rack, Sinatra and Rails.

I once build a webshop in Rails using the Spree framework. This was great since everything I needed for a webshop came out of the box. Now I want to make a website for people who organize dance parties. The site should have information of the new line-up and location, pictures/videos of older parties, and the possibility to buy new tickets.
I hope if you think of something that can be used which is like what Spree is for a webshop but then for the above requirements I would be very happy if you could share it with me.
Thanks for your help.
Rails is a good framework for this.
Meaning I can't think of anything premade to help you accomplish this, but it doesn't sound difficult to do from scratch.

is there any rails tutorials that teaches without the use of rake commands or other rails commands that result in code being auto generated for you or other luxuries that favour productivity over understanding.
If you have trouble following, for example http://ruby.railstutorial.org/book/ruby-on-rails-tutorial (which is basically THE TUTORIAL for Rails) it is very likely that you have trouble with Ruby and not with Rails.
I would suggest that you dig (deeper) into Ruby (codecademy.com has a very nice Ruby branch) and Rails becomes much easier to understand.
At least that was my learning experience!
On the code generation:
It makes sense to generate these stubs because they adhere to the MVC paradigm. If you don't understand that part, do some research on that.

Is there any library to use Comet in Rails 3?
I read that Juggernaut does not work anymore.
I'm using Passenger standalone as the server.
What about Faye? Here's a Railscast screencast which will help you.
By the way, we discussed this issue a few days ago. Here's the question.
Ok I tried Juggernaut and had some problems installing its dependencies, but after solving that it worked just fine. It does not depend on Rails, you only need Ruby, so it works with Rails 3 too.
You can use Pusher. It's not free, but very easy to use.
Juggernaut does not work anymore due SSEs.
This is a browser API that lets you keep open a socket to your server, subscribing to a stream of updates. It's perfect for the use-case Juggernaut was created for, and what's more can be implemented in a few lines of Ruby. In other words, it makes Juggernaut completely redundant.
I found a gem that implements some Comet functionalities: Cramp, I haven't used it yet, but you can try to implement it in your proyect.

I've been looking at creating themes for wordpress, but I'm not a fan of PHP. I'd rather use Rails.
Does anyone know of a blogging engine written using Rails?
http://radiantcms.org/
http://www.enkiblog.com/
https://github.com/fdv/typo/wiki/
There are a couple of blog engines written using rails. Kalyan M highlighted a few good ones. Here are a couple more for you to consider based upon your needs:
Refinery CMS
I tested this cms before and really like how simple it is to use. In fact, RailsCast did a really nice video on how to install and use this. http://railscasts.com/episodes/332-refinery-cms-basics
Browser CMS
I have not used this before but my fellow non-dev friend who used it really like that it is non-dev friendly.
Locomotive CMS
Radiant CMS
This is one of the oldest Rails cms out there. It has a large amount of extensions contributed by the community and is constantly improving. I would recommend that you test this out.
Good luck!

How to make a dashboard in Rails with Apotomo
For an iGoogle type portal you might check ExtJS. Here's a sample
http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/portal/portal.html
It sounds like you're more interested in back-end than front-end components. There doesn't seem to be publicly available Rails code for keeping track of a user's widgets at the moment, so you will have to make your own. Good thing you already know Rails!
