Great round-up of all the stuff out there about Rails 3. If you're as behind as I am on preparing for this, there's some really good stuff here; nice to have it all in one place.

Really rather good series of tutorials on the FCE4 basics.

"The alien tripods are decimating the city with ion cannons. Wild one-eyed dog-pigs with irritatingly high voices are roaming the streets, mutilating the populace with their fire breath, doing their best to keep their pet radioactive zombies in check. Meanwhile, you – the only one who can do anything to stop this genocide – are in stuck in a medical pod, being instructed by some asshole lab assistant on how to move your head up and down." Hardcasual don't like tutorials.

A technique page from a working photographer with quite a few useful tips and technique articles linked off it.

"This is a series of lessons on Blues Guitar." Simple, but thorough, and with some score/tab as well. Probably worth plugging through.

Rather good, free Rails screencasts. Short, sweet, accurate. Lots of good stuff in them.

A series of fantastic, well-written, clear articles about some of Aperture's nuances. Definitely a piece of software on my "one day" list...
