> Get the comprehensive insider information you need for Rails 7 with the new edition of this award-winning classic.

All chapters, with the exception of Web Services which is likely to be  
replaced by a chapter on ActiveResource, have been updated to work  
with Rails 2.1.

I’m now looking for suggestions on what new features are in edge Rails  
today that deserve specific focus and expanded coverage in the next  
beta. Feedback welcome, even if you aren’t participating in this  
particular beta but have seen previous editions. The overall  
structure is exactly the same as the previous edition – something I  
felt was important to do until I reached this point, but now comes the  
fun part where I have a working book that I can confidently evolve in  
whatever direction makes sense.
