This routing recipe looks invaluable. Thanks again to everyone at

Cool. When can we download these? (I’ve just bought the combo deal but  
these chapters weren’t in it yet…)

Whoops, they are there after all! They’re kind of hidden though, I think  
there’s a small bug in the bookmarks view. For instance “Make your URLs  
pretty” is under “Authentication”. And “Making Your Own Rails Plugins”  
is under “Automating Development With Your Own Generators”. (expand  
bookmarks to see what I mean)

Dave,  
Thanks for the update. I just downloaded the new revision and I see that  
the bookmarking is still borked. Bookmarks are incorrectly nested within  
subjects. I’ve already informed Chad about this, but just wanted to pass  
along that my “fresh” version still has the problem.  
Thanks for a great book!

Yeah–that’s a know bug with the beta–turns out to be hard to fix… ☹

Just got the new version today at work. Haven’t had a chance to read all  
the  
new ones yet, though.

Looking good, thanks!
