On the way to Rails 3 - a link list

Rails 3 is coming! The first beta release of the new version is right around the corner and it should be released today or tomorrow… the release notes are already in the master branch.
For me this feels like the release of Rails 1.0 and I’m so excited about all the new changes and the great new features.
Rails 3 is a lot about changing your mindset to make use of the all new features and concepts.

I’ve collected some reading material for you about Rails 3 and the upcoming changes. Since the final Rails 3 is not yet released excpect some of the stuff that’s mentioned to be changed or already have changed in the beta. But this is a good start to catch up with all the Rails awesomeness:

Must-reads

Actually all of these links are “must-reads” but for those of you with little time. Read at least these:

Router

ActiveRecord / ActiveModel

ActionMailer

Views / JavaScript

Controller

Rack

Gem, Plugins, Dependencies

Generators

I18n

Other great reading

General Rails

I’ll update this list with upcoming Rails 3 resources.

update:

1. Added link to I18n changes (thanks @ Carlos)

    Hi,

    great collection of links on Rails 3. Congrats.

    You may want to add “Rails 3 i18n changes” post from Plataforma Tec, that may enrich a bit this collection. Please take a look:
