Frustratingly my laptop has Rails 3 on it, although I cannot find much supporting documentation on how to use Rails 3, excepting the API reference.
There appears to be a significant amount about regarding rails 2.2. Would you recommend downgrading and learning 2.2 or just plough ahead with 3 and hope for the best?
Highly recommend continue with Rails3. No new apps out there are going to be created with Rails 2.3 — as gems and engines are created and updated, your 2.3 app will get out of date.
The documentation is still coming for Rails3 out on the blogosphere, but searching for “Rails3 where conditions” gives good rails3 results.
If you’re willing to buy documentation, Agile Web Development with Rails (4th edition) was quite excellent in its first edition, and was how I learned. Its 4th version covers rails 3.
