similar to: [ADV] Second Edition of Agile Web Development, with Rails

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

Hi All, Pragmatic Dave Thomas tells me that Rails Recipes (http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_rr) is now shipping! He and Andy apparently have over a ton of books to deliver. If you''ve ordered a paper book, it''s soon on the way. If you''ve been waiting, now''s the time. Amazon is also has the book in stock

The second beta of Rails Recipes, Chad Fowler''s killer book or writing real-world Rails, is now available. It features seven new recipes: * In Place Editing * Making Your Own JavaScript Helper * Many To Many With Attributes On The Relationship * Dealing With Time Zones * Living On The Edge * Making Your Own Rails Plugins (contributed by Rick Olson, aka technoweenie) * Polymorphic

Hi, I purchased the first edition of "Agile Web Development with Rails" and it says the source code shown in the book is available on http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails . However, I can''t find it. Does anyone know where I can get the code from? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Gentle Web Development Folk: Just in time for RailsConf, I''m happy to announce Jeremy Sydik''s book, "The Accessible Web", is now available in beta. This is particularly sweet as Jeremy and I first discussed this book in the hallways of last year''s conference. This book is all about making your website accessible web sites-- sites that can easily be used

Railsriders: Quizmeister James Edward Gray II selected the best 25 Ruby Quizzes from last year, then carefully collected answers and annotated them. The result is "The Best of Ruby Quiz", a wonderful book which will teach any Ruby programmer new techniques and approaches to coding. If you want to hone your programming skills, stick to the front part of the book and enjoy

ANNOUNCING AGILE WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH RAILS, SECOND EDITION =========================================================== http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/ Rails has changed a lot since we announced the first edition of the book a year ago. DHH says that the 1.1 release "boasts more than 500 fixes, tweaks, and features from more than 100 contributors." Who are we to

Hi ! I''m attempting to write a simple gallery in Rails. The thing is I''d like to be able to upload a lot of pictures at once with a zip file. I''ve so far managed to upload the zip file (containing pictures) to the server. But how do I unzip the file to have access to the pictures ? I haven''t been able to understand how to use Zlib to do this. Any tips or

Just in case some of you missed it, Pragmatic Programmers just published their first of a series of short, PDF-only books. This one is on qtRuby. It would be great to have something like this for wxRuby. I don''t think wxRuby is quite ready to this (yet), but I thought I''d plant the idea.

Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use

I''m delighted to announce that Chad Fowler''s new book, Rails Recipes, is now available as a Beta Book. This is a great title for folks who know Rails, and for folks who want to get the most out of Rails. It contains detailed recipes for doing real-world things with Rails, all illustrated with working code. Some examples are drawn from Rails 1.1, the rest from Rails 1.0.

Hi, I''m running the code example for ''Dynamically Updating a List'' in Agile pages 404-406: When I enter a new to-do, and click ''New Item'', a new page is rendered only displaying the new to-do just entered. This isn''t what''s expected. The to-do list with id="items" should be updated so the to-do list dynamically grows.

I run two streams from ezstream via Icecast2 - one over http and one over https. In the ezstream config file I have defined two servers (http and https) and the two streams point to the different servers (by their names). But, if I go to the following two url's, Icecast report same (http-) 'streaming url' for both: https://radio.horsens-garage.rocks:8443/

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the

Hi, I''ve been trying to run the application (depot_final) from the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book (http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/railscode.html), and keep getting the "Application error (Apache)" screen when I go to 127.0.0.1:3000/admin/new. I tried this on 2 different Win2K machines with the same error. One machine has the latest version (13a)

I noticed a pointer to this in some RSS feed today. "Agile Web Development with Rails", release date July 4, 2005. http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html Once you''ve got an ISBN and a title, you''re halfway there. :-) How soon can we pre-order?

I saw this mentioned on Dave Thomas''s blog http://blogs.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi/Tech/Ruby/EIR.html and don''t remember having seen it announced on this mailing list. This new Beta Book is at http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_eir/index.html regards Justin

I have bought the book, and are working with chapter 18 (about Ajax). I don''t get the List application example to function as expected. When i fill inn a name, and presses "Add Item". The button gets gray, the text "Adding..." is coming up, and the item is being written in the top of the page, but then it freezes here. I uses the newest rails, installed with Gem, and
