I've been toying with a few chapters of a book to do just that.
About half is API and uses. Then the other half of the book explains *how* it works. And some of the fun/cool tricks going on inside in the guts to make the usibility so simple.
But, its quite a while from being done...

Hi,
I've used Rails quite a bit. I want to understand the major Rails
components well enough to read the Rails source without great
struggle. Eventually I'd like to know how all the components are wired
together but I'd be happy to start with understanding Active Record
thoroughly. For me, the best way to understand something is to build
it. I imagine building a simple version of Active Record with just one
type of validation, one type of association, and one database adapter.
A stripped down Active Record with the same file and class/module
structure as the real thing. Does a tutorial about this sort of
exercise exist? Would a tutorial about this be helpful for others? Is
there anyone who can direct me to the most important parts of Active
Record? (I've looked through David Black's book and it doesn't seem to
cover the detail of Rails I'm interested in learning.)
Thanks,
Peter
