They’re a little bit on the beginner side, but even an intermediate developer like me will take something away from them. No doubt they’re worth $5.

I’ll probably check them out later today. Thanks for the review.

The Active Record screencasts are quite good but I feel they’re aimed at beginners.

The first one covers the basics of relationships (belongs_to, has_many :through etc). Very in depth, but if you’ve been using rails for a while there’s not a lot to learn from them.

The second one covers things like named_scope and chaining them together, which is quite useful and definitely worth watching.

Instead each episode was clear, professional, and instructive. Dave fortunately know a lot bout ruby and teaching.

Thats a pretty good review. I was looking for Ruby screencasts for a very long time. There are quite a few Rails screencasts sites (Railscasts and Peepcode) but not Ruby. You can’t go too further in Rails without knowing advanced Ruby concepts. And who’s better qualified than Dave Thomas to teach us all these concepts!

Thanks for the review. I’ll definitely check these out.
