Now that we have version 2, is Agile Web Programming with Rails book still useful?
I want to buy it. I need advice if it is still worth.

It doesn't currently support 2.0 stuff... unless there is a newer version I am not aware of.
I would buy the PDF version and purchase 2 Peepcode videos. 1) the one on RESTful development 2) Starting from Scratch Part 2
Another great resource is RailsCasts.com
Most of the book is still relevant, and I think it is still worthwhile, but there are a few places where it can trip you up, and it doesn't of course explain the new ways to do things in Rails 2.
The best Rails 2 book by far is The Rails Way, but it is not a beginner's book.
