I bought this version of the book and checked to see if the PDF version had been updated. It looks like a new version was released last week and I downloaded the update. What I'm wondering is, what arethe differences between the version released in December and the one released last week?

The new book should cover the soon to be released Rails 1.2 version. While the first edition of the book covered Rails 1.0. Kind regards, Nick Snels http://railshostinginfo.com Compare and review Rails hosting

I too am interested in what changed, but these answers don't address the question. The original poster and I are talking about Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd Edition, *version 2.0*. That's the second printing of the second edition. (Check the inside cover of your book and you'll note a version number. Check out http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/errata and you'll further notice all previous revisions in the drop-down list.) It'd be great if the Pragmatic Programmers would publish changelogs of their book revisions. Dave, if you're reading this, could you chime in on that possibility? Regards, Roderick

(Or, to put it another way, once a book has gone to print, any change we make will be documented as an erratum) Dave

Just look at the errata page, and select the version of the PDF you
currently have in the drop down. The stuff shown in less-saturated
colors has been fixed between your edition and the current one.
(Basically, I fixed some errata while readying the book for the
second printing)

Heh. That's funny. I wonder if the sites even built on Ruby/Rails? Judging from the cludgy table-based design and lack of any Rails-created styles/scripts, I'm gonna say it's a PHP jobbie. Heh. Very nice. </sarcasm> RSL

Uhm...did you even look at the site? The site suggestion and user signup are both Rails style URLs; how can you even tell it's a "Rails-created styles/scripts"? Scaffolding? Maybe he didn't use that (and by the way, scaffolding puts out "cludgy table-based designs"). *sigh* Anyhow, back on topic, thanks for the reply Dave. I was kind of confused, too. :) --Jeremy On 1/13/07, Russell Norris <sconds@gmail.com> wrote: > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > -- My free Ruby e-book: http://www.humblelittlerubybook.com/book/ My blogs: http://www.mrneighborly.com/ http://www.rubyinpractice.com/
