I got aboard the rails train last year with my first project and made
the decision to not go the RESTful route since it didnt seem necessary
at the time and many of the tutorials and books had been written
before this was The Way.
Now, there seem to be 2 things that I feel I'm falling behind on: 1)
Restful-ness, and 2) Rails 2.x (that first big project is still on
Rails 1.2.5).
So, having spotted (and somewhat ignored) a number of postings,
tutorials, and books that can guide me on getting up-to-date, I
thought I'd ask here for pointers to the ones that people feel did a
good job of educating and guiding the transitions necessary to get in
synch with the latest.
I should also say that I'm about to start a couple new projects, so
those give me a clean slate to begin with... I'd also be interested in
transitioning my current large project, so if anybody has tips about
moving an existing project in these directions, that'll help too.

Just take a look at REST and RSPEC.
It's all fairly straightforward,
and is mostly about to make you approach in a more organised way
controllers and testing.
