This seems like a successor of Railscasts, exposing specific gems and walking through the installation and getting up to speed. Both GoRails and Railsscasts seem like a great resource, so all I can say is keep it up!!
The thing I would personally like to see more, is screencasts from (or similar to) Destroy All Software[0]. These don't typically target very specific gems, but rather cover general aspects of programming, design, testing methodologies and how those concepts integrate. I personally found those far more thought-provoking.
Another side-benefit is that whereas some screencasts about a specific gem or a library become almost irrelevant when new versions are released, those more approach-oriented talks and screencasts don't go stale that quickly.

- excid3 12y agoGary Bernhardt did a fantastic job with Destroy All Software and I wish he was continuing them. I really enjoyed his approach to screencasts because they were so thought-provoking. Hard to stop watching them at times.
- pairing 12y agoI was also a fan of destroy all software screencasts, and found them incredibly useful in leveling up as a ruby developer. I've recently subscribed to Ruby Tapas http://www.rubytapas.com/ http://www.rubytapas.com/, which I find similar to DAS in topic selection and quality.
- gingerlime 12y agoThanks for the link. I'll check it out. I personally have mixed feelings about Avdi Grimm's approach. Some of his small tweaks are brilliant. Others feel to me like OO going totally overboard for no good reason. That's where I identify more with Gary Bernhardt's views. In that sense, DAS is perhaps much harder to replace.
