Rails - Aug 2007 - [ADV] Deploying Rails Applications Beta Book Release

Hello Friends-

	I''m happy to announce the beta release of my book for the Pragmatic  
Programmers, Deploying Rails Applications, A Step by Step Guide. It''s  
been in the works for a long time and has been rewritten multiple  
times as Rails deployment changes fast. It''s an early beta book and  
has a little more then half of the final content. We are aiming to  
release a new chapter every 3 weeks until the book if finished.

	I''d like to thank my co-authors Bruce Tate, Geoff Grosenbach and  
Brian Hogan for helping to make it happen.

Ezra,
If we buy the .pdf version do we get the final release in .pdf? I
guess what I''m saying is that I''d like to know I''m
getting the ''whole
enchilada'' someday for the same price.
Thank you,
Kathy

I bought the book and all the capistrano work is done assuming we are using
capistrano 1.x. Will the final release be updated to have capistrano 2.ostuff.

Hi Kathy,

I''ve bought some other books from the Pragmatic Programmers. Not only
will
you receive the final PDF when it''s released, bu you''ll also
receive free
updates to the PDF for the life of the edition that you purchased. In other
words, if you purchase the 1st edition of any of their books, you receive
free PDF updates for that edition. However, if they then publish a 2nd
edition, you''d have to buy it, and you''d receive free updates
for that
edition.

Regards,
Craig

	Yes the book will be updated to cap2 in a subsequent release before  
the final version.

Kathy-

	Yes that is the whole point of the pragmatic beta books. If you buy  
the pdf now you will get free updates as new chapters are released  
and then you will get the final version as well.

Good work Ezra, looking forward to reading this.

You should sneak in a chapter on merb and write about how lightweight and
fast it is and how easy it is to deploy cause it integrates so well with
mongrel etc etc etc ;)

Oh, im loving merb by the way. If you didn''t guess!

Ezra,
One last question...will you discuss the advantages and techniques for
deploying on Amazon''s EC2?

Kathy-

	Ec2 is a bit out of scope for this book I think. It is just linux  
after all. I personally think ec2 works great in conjunction with  
another standard host for your database and other persistent  
services. Since your hard drive space on ec2 is not persistent if  
your vm crashes and you had a database on there you are going to lose  
all your data.

	So deploying on ec2 is risky right now unless you have a super  
strength sysadmin that can set up database clustering or replication  
with frequent backups.  So i am not going to cover ec2 in the book  
this time around because I feel it''s a bit too complicated to get  
right compared to a normal host that won;t lose your data if it crashes.

Cheers-
-Ezra
