I an looking to delve a little deeper into Ruby On Rails and am interested in seeking more knowledge when it comes to methods. I am aware of the rails api documentation, but not being familiar with a lot of the terminology or where the specific methods can be used it is to big to be useful at this stage (hope that makes sense).
What I was looking for is any particular methods I should pay attention too, more like most commonly used, just so I can practice with them for now, then once I have grasped a better understanding then i can look at more.
Any resources or documentation that has helped anyone, please feel free to let me know
Thanks in advance
Some resources maybe help you:
Rails Tutorial
Rails Guide and about API
Some videos Rails Cast
Read book Rails 3 way
Objects On Rails
To be honest, you should probably be asking this question on Reddit or in the RoR talk group.. the reason being is that there is likely no single correct answer. Check this page out:
http://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/ys318/what_to_read_after_hartls_rails_tutorial/
As the title in the URI suggests, you should definitely start with Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl.

The official website contains so simple tutorials. Are there some good websites like ASP.NET MVC 3 from Microsoft that provide everything from scratch about Yii.
do you checkout the guide?. it's pretty straightforward.
Personal this is a great set of tutorials to learn Yii from.
http://www.larryullman.com/series/learning-the-yii-framework/
Follow the guide as mentioned, then check out the Blog Tutorial
i learned it on the blog tutorial, took me about half an hour to learn that way. I also suggest making a real life app with it, then you learn a lot more, since you look for ways to solve the problem that come, and questioning is the best way to learn without a doubt

Does anyone know of any good, detailed guides for capistrano and deploying rails applications? I'm interested in learning all the different functionality rather than just following a tutorial without really understanding what's happening.
Github made the great tutorial howto setup capistrano.
You can reference to the Capistrano Handbook and Getting start guide.
I don't know if it could be what you are looking for, but I just wrote how to make Rails 3.2, Nginx and Capistrano work http://www.lifeofadev.eu/posts/deploy-rails-3-2-with-capistrano
I've written this one, that at some point I might move off this gist:
https://gist.github.com/2161449
I agree there is/was a lack. I figured stuff out painfully, and then tried to write it up in a guide for others (and myself to refer back to)

Does anybody know about a Rails 3 forum application?
Before anyone says anything...I've posted this previously but I got the post closed due to a "possible duplicate"...but it's not! The post "I duplicated" mentions Rails 2 forums. And I've asked for Rails 3 forums.
If you are looking for a gem, here you are a nice gem compatible with Rails 3 https://github.com/radar/forem
https://github.com/gitt/forum_monster
This forum monster is quite updated. If I'm not wrong, it's forked from the abandoned beast.
You can check this link for reference : http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/building-a-forum-from-scratch-with-ruby-on-rails/
This is not in Rails 3, but I have created an application following the same in Rails 3 without facing any issue. I agree that many things have been deprecated in Rails 3, but still you can create an app in it which was already implemented in older version.
Altered Beast :
https://github.com/stiff/altered_beast
Can you provide further requirements? Are you looking to develop the forums yourself? Do you want to install as a gem?
If you're looking for example source, this may fit the bill: https://github.com/smholloway/Rails3-forum or https://github.com/smholloway/Rails3-Forums-Without-Nesting
Here's a link to an up to date list of popular Ruby forum systems: https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/forum_systems
Currently, Forem seems to be the system of choice.

I want to ask about the best resources to know how cucumber, capybara works. I know how to use them, but sometimes things go wrong I just don't know why, I thought about reading the capybara and cucumber source code, but It's a bit complicated without having a general idea about their work, so here's my question. How do you learn this things enough to understand whats happening behind and things doesn't seem like magic with tools like this?
Greetings
Cucumber and Capybara are fairly independent, so you should try to learn about each one of them individually.
I haven't used Cucumber, but I assume the web site with its wiki, examples and tutorials (see the navigation bar at the top) should be a great resource.
Regarding Capybara: Since the time you asked your question I've expanded the Capybara README a bit, so I recommend you check it out again. You should be able to get going just by reading the README top to bottom (and perhaps following its pointers into the rdoc reference). Capybara is not a very complex beast, really.
For cucumber I would recommend reading either "The RSpec Book" from pragmatic press, or find the free download of a work in progress called "the secret ninja cucumber scrolls" http://cuke4ninja.com/

I found a question here about blogs on software development, but I would like to know which blogs on software testing this community reads.
If you just have to recommend more than one blog, post each one in separate answer, so others can vote on specific blog. :)
Thanks!
Edit: I am not interested in sites that aggregate other blogs, because as #Alan said (in his answer) there are both good and not so good blogs there.
My blog, of course, is quite interesting - but will not be to everyone. TestingReflections is nice because it aggregates a bunch of random test blogs, but the problem is that it aggregates the bad with the good. Many of the posts that make it to the site don't have much use.
It also depends on what you're looking for - are you looking for a blog on testing philosophy, one about functional test techniques, something about writing automated tests, something all-encompassing, or something different?
Abakas. It's written by my boss, but I'd recommend it even if that weren't the case.
Google Testing Blog
James Bach at http://www.satisfice.com/blog/ . Very good.
For Russian-speaking community is definitely:
http://it4business.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=192
But I think everybody knows that :)
