- Benefits
What does this course material add over what you can read in the Agile Web Development with Rails AWR book? Mostly it adds exercises that let you check your learning. It also adds a long chapter on Ruby, tips about useful plugins and resources, advanced testing techniques, best practices, and a look at what’s new in the upcoming Rails 2.0 release.

- Prerequisites
You have done database backed web programming before and are familiar with basic concepts in object orientation. You have worked through a tutorial such as “Rolling with Rails” or built the Depot application in the AWR book. I highly recommend having the AWR book as well as the Programming Ruby book at hand when learning Ruby and Rails. The slides and exercises in this course material should be seen as a complement to those and other books.
