I've learned things like PHP and Flash entirely through poking around online tutorials, but I can't seem to catch on by doing the same with RoR. I guess the philosophy of RoR is drastically different from what I'm used to.

How did you guys learn rails? I really want to learn it, but the tutorials aren't really working for me.

It's hard to learn Ruby on Rails from online tutorials - a downfall I discuss in a pretty popular post on my personal blog.

The book is pretty good.
