About RailsCasts

RailsCasts is produced by Ryan Bates (rbates on Twitter and ryanb on GitHub). A free episode will be released on the first Monday of each month featuring tips and tricks with Ruby on Rails. The screencasts are short and focus on one technique so you can quickly move on to applying it to your own project. The topics target the intermediate Rails developer, but beginners and experts will get something out of it as well. A Pro option is also available containing more screencasts each week.

ASCIIcasts

If you prefer text over video, a text version (ASCIIcast) is available for most videos. Special thanks to Eifion Bedford and the translators for transcribing the majority of the episodes into textual form.

TextMate Theme

Do you like the TextMate theme used in these screencasts? It is custom made and based off of the theme by idlefingers. I am using the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font.

Download Textmate Theme

A Vim Theme is also available.
