[gameprogrammer] Play by Web games tutorial sought

I'm having trouble finding the right combination of words to
successfully Google for tutorials covering Play by Web games.

I'm learning all about Ruby on Rails and quite enjoying the ride.
What I ultimately want to achieve is to create a website that hosts
various boardgames, i.e. games that are not played in real time, in
such a fashion that you load up the current state of the game, input
commands for your current move, then logout and go about your
business.

Then, after the other player(s) have moved, you get notified by e-mail
that it's your turn again, and the cycle repeats.

The thing is, Googling attempts always bring me to things like flash
games and other real time game tutorials, which is not what I'm
presently interested in.

So, if any of you have heard of a simple tutorial of how to do a
simple game - even Noughts and Crosses would do - in the web style
that I describe, speak up!

PS My recent posts make me out to be rather grouchy and short
tempered, sorry if I have offended anyone with them!  Pressures at
work etc etc.
