I am looking for NEW Ruby on Rails resource websites (Screencasts, Tutorials, etc) some of what I found are Outdated. So for Ruby on Rails 3.X please.
I have:
http://railscasts.com/
http://railsforzombies.org (witch is...AWESOME, a kick-start)
http://railsapi.com/doc/rails-v3.0.1/
I'd recommend newer Railscasts and great RailsGuides.
I've been reading the RailsTutorial for Rails 3 and think it's amazing.
http://railstutorial.org/
If you have an existing Rails app to upgrade, you'll probably also want to check out Jeremy McAnally's Rails 3 Upgrade
Handbook.
Peepcode are good too. Not a free resource

This is my first question here in StackOverflow :)
I've been searching for the best plugin for administrator for my Rails 2.3.11 app.
I can create my own but I have to rush my project so I decided to use these kinds of plugin.
I already searched rails_admin and active_admin. There are both good but I think that's for Rails 3 only. So I need to find some admin plugins for Rails 2.3.11.
Your ideas are much welcome :) Thanks!
Give Typus a try. It works on rails 2.3 and is quite popular, although the author isn't planning on maintaining the 2.3 version anymore.

How do I update to Rails 3.1 ?
I am using windows xp with ruby console.
And is there a smart way to update a rails app from 3.0.3 to 3.1 or do I need to rewrite it all?
This question has a lot of useful information which might help you out: Upgrading from Rails 3 to Rails 3.1
It doesn't answer specifically for Windows, but there's a lot of advice and insight that you'll find useful for the upgrade.
The only advice I can offer on top of reading the answers in the above question is to have a bit of patience and not expect it to work straight away. There's a lot of changes in the way 3.1 works so expect to spend some time fixing it up.
Good luck!
I created one vanilla 3.0 site, added it to Git, then created a vanilla 3.1 site and copied it over the 3.0 site, deleting existing files first. A diff then showed me exactly what changed.
I would strongly recommend this and the following two railscasts in the series
I'm looking for a forum app for rails 3.
All the forums is for rails2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Forem is a Rails 3.1 engine and it looks pretty legit.
I saw that rboard is rails3 based, I haven't tried it though.
For a more modern alternative, you could try Discourse.
I typically use rails models and typus as my CMS as it gives the most flexibility, plus typus is just brilliant. I'm starting a new rails 3 app, and typus isn't rails3 compatible yet. I'm looking around for a CMS that'll work in rails 3. I still want to be able to write my views in haml (rather than some custom templating lang) and need total customizability.
In googling, I'm not finding much. Does anyone have any knowledge about something that would fit my needs?
Thanks.
Another CMS starting to rise quickly to fill in the gaps for Rails 3 scene is RefineryCMS - Github
http://locomotivecms.com is one of good CMS
as of yesterday Refinery CMS 0.9.8 supports Rails 3! You can read about the transition to Rails 3.
This makes Refinery CMS the first popular CMS to support Rails 3.
Alchemy CMS works in Rails 3.
The next_stable branch supports Rails 3.1.
Ubiquo supports Rails 3.2 in the edge branch.
You should look into Osmek. With Osmek you can write in any language you'd like, since you interact with your content through an API. Its a revolutionizing concept to content management, and the idea of flexibility.
Lots of helpful Refinery CMS info at http://www.refinerycms.com/guides
Here is a list of almost all Rails 3 CMS. http://bitprison.net/rails3-cms-solutions-2011
I develop a Rails 3 Item & Content Managament called Opal, which may be interesting to some. Here's more info:
repo: http://github.com/hulihanapplications/Opal
site: http://www.hulihanapplications.com/projects/opal
demo: http://opal.demos.hulihanapplications.com
login: admin/admin
locomotiveCMS and BrowserCMS both work in Rails 3
Since the arrival of rails 2.3,the migration to new version became a big issue.
There might have some things to be taken care on migration.Which r those.
Any help is there and which r the advantages of this migration.
It's not free ($9) but Ryan Daigle's Peepcode PDF book is an excellent 80-page guide to Rails 2.1 for Rails 1 users which really helped me when upgrading from 1.x to 2.x:
http://peepcode.com/products/rails-2-pdf
I posted an answer to a similar question. I recommend going there so you can see all of the other answers as well. But I'll duplicate it here for convenience.
Check out the official Rails Guides. These should provide a nice overview of Rails (if you are rusty) and are kept up-to-date with the latest versions.
You may want to check out Ryan Daigle's Edge Rails posts which covered features as they were added to the new versions. Use the dates to determine where to start and go through each one. He also has a PDF for $9 which covers upgrading to Rails 2.1.
I have also covered the changes on Railscasts. Check out the various tags for each version to see them: 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
Update: Thoughtbot blog has posted about upgrading to Rails 2.1 and 2.3.2.
