Upgrade path from rails 2.3.x to rails3:
9+
* upgrade to latest rails 2.3.x
10+
rake rails:update
11+
* fix deprecation warnings
12+
* install rails_xss plugin and fix views.
13+
* rename .rhtml, .rxml, .rjs files
14+
* install Bundler
15+
gem install xxx
16+
rake rails:update:gems
17+
* replace plugins with gems
18+
put customized plugins into Gitbub and pull into Gemfile
19+
* install rails_upgrade plugin
20+
rake rails:upgrade:check # save output to a file
21+
rake rails:upgrade:backup # gives a list of backed-up files
22+
rake rails:upgrade:gems # doesn't check config/environments/*.rb for config.gem stuff
23+
rake rails:upgrade:routes # not perfect, but mostly works in rails3
24+
rake rails:upgrade:configuration # creates config/application.rb file
25+
* remove preinitializer.rb if you were using Bundler before
26+
* lib directory not autoloaded by default:
27+
config.load_path += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
28+
* ujs
29+
add csrf_meta_tag inside <head>
30+
install jquery-rails gem and install its rails.js to public/javascripts and include in app layout
31+
32+
33+
XSS:
34+
* =h not used anymore; =raw is opposite of =h
35+
* call :html_safe method on a String to 'make it safe'
36+
* YAML locale stirings are escaped unless the key name ends in '_html'
37+
*
38+
39+
How to install bundler gems in production:
40+
bundle install --deployment
41+
42+
git tips:
43+
* git add --patch
44+
* git add --edit
45+
Alternative to rvm and gemsets... install gems locally:
46+
bundle install --path vendor
47+
bundle package
48+
check your Gemfile.lock into version control
49+
50+
51+
Dependencies, etc:
52+
* rspec:
53+
* New rspec syntax
54+
require 'rspec'
55+
require 'rspec/rails'
56+
* other rspec stuff
57+
make sure rspec-rails in in the development and test groups in Gemfile
58+
Cucumber uses the test environment now
59+
* might need to install rpec2-rails-views-matchers gem
60+
* factory_girl gem is renamed to factory_girl_rails gem for rails3
61+
* rails3 branch of will_paginate is in beta
62+
kaminari gem is stable and a good replacement for will_paginate
63+
*
64+
65+
Ruby 1.9 stuff:
66+
* new syntax for case statements (breaks old stuff)
67+
* new optional syntax for Hash
68+
