Using Rails 4 with Build A Simple Rails App

Has anyone tried following along with Build a Simple Rails App and used Rails 4 and Ruby 2.0? I am going to try it and was wondering if anyone has experience with doing it and if there are any hiccups they ran into.

Just did it this morning. Some of the generated code ended up being different, but it's fine so far.

Rails 4.0.1

ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]

Before you get too far, you WILL run into problems because they are using a method called attr_accessible which has been dropped in Ruby 2.x and this will cause you a lot of problems, but you won't encounter the problems until you reach the section titled: "Customizing Forms".

Good news though is that they are working on an update to incorporate Ruby 2.0 and Rails 4.
