Subject: [ADV] New Agile Web Development with Rails beta

Folks:

I've uploaded the B1.14 version of AWDwR.

The only major change here is a revamp of the Action Mailer chapter,  
and the
removal of the Web Services chapter.

I'm still in two minds about the latter: it's a great chapter, but  
the core team
seem to be deemphasizing Action Web Service, and the book is already  
longer than
I'd like.  My plan is to put the existing Web Services chapter up for  
free at
some point so you can still get to the content.

Again, I need to stress that the book is written on the assumption  
that the reader has
Rails 1.2 installed. As that doesn't yet exist, you HAVE TO HAVE EDGE  
RAILS
for some of this stuff to work. Some folks like the following  
description
of working with Edge:

edge-rails/

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.

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

Cheers


Dave Thomas
