Rails - May 2006 - Ruby on Rails: Up and Running

hello,

On page 49 of the beta version of Ruby on Rails: Up and Running, the 
book suggests to download a zip file containing everything that has been 
done up to that point, and a create_tables_with_data.sql file. The book 
doesn''t have the link, and I couldn''t find it in the book
site. Does
anyone know where to get the files?

This is a very good book.

Thanks.

Agreed. I wish my hard copy that I ordered almost two months ago would 
come. Apparently there was "a problem with some orders" and then the 
first run ran out. Arggh.

Looks like this didn''t get through onto the Rails mailing  list. Gene,
I''ll
send you the zip file. If any one else wants it, send me an email (curt at
hibbs dot come).

Did you ever find that code? I could not find it on the book site
either.

No. But I went ahead anyway, and I haven''t had an error yet, so far.
You
just have to make up your own jpg files for the photos.

I''ll send you the zip file in a separate email. O''Rielly
doesn''t have it up
yet.

I''m pleased to have my book mentioned and praised but it actually
isn''t the book Gene was talking about.  He was talking about "Ruby
on
Rails: Up and Running" by Bruce Tate and Curt Hibbs.  You''ll get
very
confused if you try to read the other book and run my code at the same
time :-)

I''m not sure where its source code is for that.  I''m getting a
400
from http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rubyrails/.

Re: Ruby for Rails: I don''t know what the delay is at Manning. 
I''ll
mention it to them.

This is what Manning customer support told me on May 15 regarding this
issue.  FWIW, I still have not received my hard copy.

I just found out about the issue with ruby for rails.
We recently switched to a new ordering system which
caused a bit of trouble during the overlap. Normally
all preorders are shipped in order recieved, but
during the transition preorders from the new system
were shipped before those from the old. In addition
Ruby for Rails is doing much better than we
anticipated! Our distributor actually ran out of books
before all the preorders could be filled. We''re
rushing additional inventory to them now. Thank you
for your patience, all orders should be shipped soon.

The difference between "for" and "on" is significant in this
context.

My mistake.
