A new guide covering the core extensions is about to be out with Rails
3, the edge version is online

    http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_support_core_extensions.html

It is a reference rather than a tutorial, but you have there
everything in one place. Also I've tried hard to provide non-toy
examples (some extracted from Rails, its main client), and explore
edge cases and stuff that is not normally covered in existing
material.
