Thanks, ``` -- Jean-François. ``` ---

Hi, I’m a newbie to RoR - I’m going thru the AWDWR [“Agile Web D. with Rails”] book… The article on Rails is the cover article… It’s a good read and worth looking for… RoR was also give a ‘Jolt’ award in the same issue as was the AWDWR book…So was MySQL 5.0 Ciao, Pat ---
