Hi Folks,
We’ve just uploaded a new revision of the Advanced Rails Recipes PDF:
http://pragprog.com/titles/fr_arr
To get your updated PDF, simply sign in to your account (http://
Manage) and ask the system to regenerate it.
The contributors and I have burned the midnight oil since the first
beta to pack as many new recipes as possible in for your New Year
reading pleasure. This revision adds 25 timely recipes from some of
the top developers in the community, for a total of 67 practical ways
to make tasty Rails dishes on your first try! (I’ve listed the new
recipes and contributors below.)
We’ll continue to refine these recipes and add new ones for the next
beta revision. Thanks to all the contributors for their great work!
Cheers,
Mike
