It’s been a long time coming, but we’re very pleased to announced  
that Agile Web D. with Rails, 2nd Edition, is now in stock  
and shipping. Get 'em while they’re hot 🙂

For details, please visit [http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails](http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails)

The Rails community needs the most up-to-date information it can get.  
So here’s the Second Edition of the Jolt Award winning book that  
shows you a new approach to web development:

- develop sophisticated web applications quickly and easily;
- use incremental and iterative development to create the web apps  
that users want; and
- get to go home on time.

This is a substantial overhaul to the first edition. In this book  
you’ll find information on migrations, RJS templates, respond\_to,  
integration tests, and all the new ActiveRecord features (including  
polymorphic associations, join models, and eager loading). And it  
incorporates another year’s worth of Rails best practices.

Available now from [http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/](http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/)

Great! Looking forward to getting my copy. Is it being released in an  
Indian edition at the same time or later? I saw that some of your books  
are now being sold in Indian editions as well, via Shroff Publishers.

All translations will be later, simply because we have to finish the  
final English version before the international versions can be  
finalized.
