I am a relative newcomer to rails (1 year) and web programming in general. I stumbled across Michael Hartl's excellent tutorial and fell in love with ruby and rails right away, and shortly thereafter developed a deep-rooted hatred (well, strong dislike) of rspec. All of the fun I gained by using ruby was sucked out of me by rspec. Months later I decided to try testunit and in retrospect I wish I hadn't waited so long. After an hour or so of toying with it I knew it was the way forward as I am someone who wants to write test code that is just ruby.
I still recommend Michael's tutorial to anyone new to rails, but a '37 signals' stack version would be great.
