Folks:
I’ve uploaded the B1.14 version of AWDwR.
The only major change here is a revamp of the Action Mailer chapter,
and the
removal of the Web Services chapter.
I’m still in two minds about the latter: it’s a great chapter, but
the core team
seem to be deemphasizing Action Web Service, and the book is already
longer than
I’d like. My plan is to put the existing Web Services chapter up for
free at
some point so you can still get to the content.
Again, I need to stress that the book is written on the assumption
that the reader has
Rails 1.2 installed. As that doesn’t yet exist, you HAVE TO HAVE EDGE
RAILS
for some of this stuff to work. Some folks like the following
description
of working with Edge:
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/07/11/installing-and-managing-
edge-rails/
As usual, the update is available for free from
http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/reorder
Enter just two of the three pieces of information to identify your PDF.
I recommend using your order number and your email address, as these
tend
to be be the most consistent.
Thanks for your support for this project. Keep the comments
coming in.
Cheers
Dave T.
Dave,
Thanks very much for your fantastic book - it got me hooked on RoR and
Ruby and I’ve always been a hardcore Perler.
I’m a bit worried though about the future of Web Services in RoR,
something I use extensively. What’s the story?

You’ll need to ask the core team. Right now, they’re hot on REST, and
feel that this is the best way to implement inter-application
communication in Rails. However, that doesn’t help when talking to
the legacy world.
Because of that, I’ve added the Web Services chapter back into the
latest beta, released yesterday.
I don’t think web services support is going away. It’s possible that
it might become a plugin in Rails 2.0.
Cheers
Dave

Thank you for the link. It was both enlightening and a bit discouraging,
but it points me in the right direction.
All the best
