Here's a tutorial on plagiarism:
http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=10&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee-ras.org%2Fram%2Fplagiarism.pps&ei=l9lISMqPCY_MeqS1jcUE&usg=AFQjCNF1jnDHLwFvC2GgpmCz3R-qehzhtQ&sig2=PDUgigWwdtiQBZXpVQiFLg

It is a great thing to share knowledge, but copying other peoples work
word-for-word
and then not crediting it to them is dishonest. Just rework the
material you copied a bit
and your tutorial will be much better.

Also, the rails quick guide looks quite useful, thanks for that!
