Hi guys,

I want to download the source code of Pickaxe 2 from the website. But  
the problem is that I can only download the source code one by one. Is  
there any good means to download all the source code/each chapter once?

Thanks,

Li

You could use the link provided in the first paragraph of the page at

[http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/code/index.html](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/code/index.html)

the bit where it says “Click on a page number below to get to the Ruby  
code samples on that page. From there, you’ll be able to download the  
source code for each. Alternatively, download all the source from here.”

The final word, “here”, is a hyperlink to a .tgz file.
