Hi – I’m very pleased to announce the appearance of the Addison-Wesley “short cut” (PDF/electronic book), “Rails Routing”, written by me. You can get more information and order “Rails Routing” at: [http://safari.awprofessional.com/9780321509246](http://safari.awprofessional.com/9780321509246) The book includes coverage of: - The basic workings of the routing system - Custom routes - Named routes - RESTful routing - Testing routes - Examining routes in the console and with plugins Reviewer Tim K. says: David A. Black, also the author of “Ruby for Rails”, does a masterful job of explaining both the technical details of Rails Routing and the philosophical or conceptual principles behind route creation. ([http://ruby.about.com/od/suggestedreading/gr/rails\_routing.htm](http://ruby.about.com/od/suggestedreading/gr/rails_routing.htm)) Enjoy! David P.S. The review also mentions that the example source code wasn’t available yet, but it’s now (re)done (after a disk crash/version control problem I don’t want to talk about 🙂 and will be made available by the publisher shortly. – Q.

David, I’ve written you a number of times asking about topics in your Ruby for Rails book. I’ve never once received a reply. ---

Maybe that’s because he’s a busy guy and you aren’t using the proper channels? 🙂 Manning has a forum just for that: [http://manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=200](http://manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=200) –Jeremy On 6/9/07, BraveDave [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > > You can get more information and order “Rails Routing” at:[http://safari.awprofessional.com/9780321509246](http://safari.awprofessional.com/9780321509246) > > Reviewer Tim K. says: > > David > > Q.

All I see is the “opportunity” to subscribe. I’d love to have a copy of this book, but I’m completely uninterested in reading it on the web for 19.95 a month or 39.95 a month. What am I missing? –Al Evans ---

I don’t seem to have received any email from you. We should probably track it down off-list, but I’ll just mention here that you can see the whole table of contents for R4R at the publisher’s site for the book: [Ruby for Rails](http://www.manning.com/black) David > > - Custom routes > > creation. > > available by the publisher shortly. > > > > – > > Q.
