Subject: Re: attr_accessor

Oh, I don't mean to give him credit for that, but for recognizing  
that type of construct and how it is like the ORM stuff in  
ActiveRecord! (unless I'm mistaken) It is a good example of the kinds  
of things Rails developers should probably get familiar with  
conceptually. (I'm working through your book and the Agile book at  
the same time, the different approaches are interesting. Each book  
seems to fill in gaps for the other, so I can't say anyone should  
start with one or the other, but both.)
