[Rails] ActiveRecord for newbies

[Chris Brooks]

Hi folks,

I'm a recent convert to Ruby/Rails for some personal development
projects I'm undertaking.  Love it, am incredibly impressed with the
simplicity, etc. etc.

One area where I'm continually challenged is groking all of the
nuances around ActiveRecord.  By this I mean naming rules (i.e., how
it maps columns, table names, etc.), setting up relationships, and so
on.  I've been through all of the tutorials and am hacking my way
along, but when I stumble it is usually with ActiveRecord.

Am I missing a good tutorial or dev guide to just ActiveRecord?
