[LRUG] Rails 3 tutorials?

[Aleksandar Simic]

Hello Nick,

the peepcasts seem to be missing from that list:

http://peepcode.com/products/meet-rails-3-i
http://peepcode.com/products/meet-rails-3-ii

Haven't actually seen those two, but I have seen others and they are
pretty good.

Hope it helps
Aleksandar
