I’ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR.

The major changes include:

- Justin Gehtland’s new chapter on Web 2.0

- James Duncan Davisdon’s chapter on deployment (this is an  
interesting one—JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails  
application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this.  
You’ll find it short and easy to follow).

- I changed the Resource-based routing section to use the new  
scaffold\_resources generator

- it fixes a number of reported errata and includes a bunch  
of suggestions. To find out what’s changed, go to  
[Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers](http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/errata) and select  
the version of the book you currently own in the dropdown.  
The grayed-out entries that appear are the ones that have been  
fixed in the new version.

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.

A note on errata: please do keep them coming in. However, as I’ll be  
rewriting the chapters from the first edition (the ones with the gray  
headers and footers) you might not want to stress too much about things  
you find in these. Also, errata about bad page breaks and missing cross  
references will be silently but brutally deleted, simply because that  
kind of stuff is not really important until we come to finish the book.  
Similarly, the entire index will be reworked when the book is finished,  
so reporting missing index entries probably won’t help much…

Thanks for your support for this project. Keep the comments  
coming in.

Cheers

Dave T.
