The API at http://ar.rubyonrails.org also serves as an introduction to 
all the aspects of it. Each major section is prefaced with a textual 
description of why and how. So that's a good start.

But we do need more. I actually remember Gavin Sinclair promising a 
tutorial to just Active Record. Perhaps this will remind him that we're 
still needing ;)

On top of that, work is being done to get something on dead trees. But 
you shouldn't start holding your breath just yet.
