Is there a new RWDWR in the works?

(I suppose that if the reply is ‘yes’ then sales of the current edition  
will plummet as we all wait for the version \>= 2.0 edition)

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act  
rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those  
because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence,  
then, is not an act, but a habit.

I don’t know about AWDWR, but Obie F.'s recently published  
Rails Way covers 2.0. It’s a fantastic book, it’ll surely become _the_  
Rails book in no time.

others awaiting publication ☹

No Rails books for Christmas for me ;-(

I have the Fernandez book in hand - Amazon has been shipping them for  
some time.

I love it, but I do not think it replaces AWDWR. I hope for the sake  
of Rails momentum that AWDWR is updated to 2.0.
