Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial Book Question

Im following the PDF version of this book and keep having an issue with different versions of gems being compatible. I had to skip the TDD section all together because I couldnt get a compatible version of rspec installed. Im now having the same problem with downloading a compatible version of blueprint-css. I dont want to have to skip anymore content. Is there an easier way to get all the correct versions of your gems? Im a React dev and very new to Rails so im unsure of how to navigate. Please advise!!

It's great to see discussions about Ruby on Rails 3 tutorials! For anyone learning Rails and looking for some helpful resources or even fun ways to practice coding, I recently stumbled upon Monkey Mart — it’s a cool site that offers useful tools and content that can complement your study sessions. Definitely worth checking out if you want to mix learning with a bit of creativity!

I totally understand your frustration — gem version mismatches can be one of the trickiest parts of following along with older Rails materials.
