It shipped with 21… so I am assuming it will be around 63 recipes
at final count. The book is really well written. Chad F. is a
great guy and an even better writer :-).
Just as a plug (dunno that its really needed though), the recipes on RJS
templates, authentication and RBAC, and the gentle introduction to
migrations have more than made the low price of the PDF well worth it to
me
as someone who has never taken the time to fully wrap my head around the
disparate docs for these arguably complicated subjects.
So, buy the darn book already! 
HTH,

I think we have to check. I emailed the PragProg’s suggesting an RSS
feed
would rule, and they mentioned something like this would be coming in
the
future.

is there also a gentle introduction to switchtower in the recipes ?

Not at this time. You could always suggest it to Chad F…

I’ve had a look at the code supplied online and it doesn’t seem
complete, most of the folders are just fresh rails installations with no
code or data. Is this just me, or are they adding to it gradually.

Sometimes I wish their website was on the same level as their
books. Their books are top notch but the website, well no so much.
Well, you just reorder it, there’s a reorder page at http://
Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers. You have to provide them
with your order number and your e-mail address (or the first line of
the billing address).

Great books though

The errata over at Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers only
has
one version for the Beta book. Has there been an update since
B1.0(2006-02-02)? No use reordering if there’s no changes.

Jamis, the author of Switchtower, has written a lengthy and detailed,
and I
believe fairly accessible, introduction/manual for Switchtower. Though I
do
not dispute the merits of Chad including a recipe on ST, I wanted to
alert
you to the excellent manual that exists right now:

For other beta books Dave has sent out emails when there’s a new
version. I would expect that to be true for this one too.

I send e-mail on all major releases of the beta.

Just wanted to ditto the “thanks!”… this book IS awesome. I highly
recommend it to the Rails community.
It’s actually being used just as much as my Agile book… and, it’s not
even
finished yet.
If you’d rather not wade through edge source code, and want applicable
examples… get the book !
Chad… the Polymorphic and Join table examples were exactly what I
needed.
I owe you a beer (or brewery for that matter), come Rails Conf !

Hi Randy. I’m targeting 70(ish). The book will end up weighing in at
around 350 pages.
