Yesterday I got the beta version of ROR recipes book and the recipes are great. For those of you still thinking about it, I highly recommend the book. The only thing I wish is that if there were some more recipes (greedy me), especially AJAX related and installing an application within your current application. For instance, it will be great to see how one can implement the typo blog engine within one''s already made application. My question: Since this is a beta edition of the book, will more recipes be added to it? Or will the final version contain the same recipes? Nonetheless, the book is a real *gem* and highly recommended. My thanks to Chad and Dave for their hard work. Frank P.S. Now if only were open tickets and open air travel so I could participate in the Rails conference ;) --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!

I wanted to add that an advantage of being in the beta program is that you can suggest Recipes you''d like to see (as you''ve done here). I can''t guarantee that all the suggestions will make it in, but I''m definitely always on the lookout for good ideas, and this book is for people like you (the readers!).

This book definitely kicks ass. After I bought it I briefly skimmed it over and thought to myself, "Hm, these look alright, not sure how many I''ll be using though, I could do most of it on my own." Started a new project later that day and immediately used four of the recipes! One of the things I really like is that it shows just how easy some of the stuff really is. For example, I hate writing authentication systems, and so have looked at using different generators, LoginEngine, etc. I could certainly write a simple auth system myself, but I don''t know how big it would be, which discourages me from doing so. When I see a basic system done in 5 pages of text and maybe 50 lines of code, there''s no uncertainty and I''m happy to knock it out. I''m lazy though, so if I think it''s going to be a long, dull task, I probably won''t do it. In that regard, this book relieves me of a lot of that. Really looking forward to the new recipes as they come out.

It shipped with 21... so I am assuming it will be around 63 recipes at final count. The book is really well written. Chad Fowler is a great guy and an even better writer :-).

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 !

I''m just happy to hear that the book is helping you. I hope it continues to please as the new recipes keep coming.

Do you know how many recipes the book will eventually contain? Or are you going to just keep adding them?
