A couple of sites are advertising PDF versions of this book. But I suspect they are not PDF''s but DRM versions that require the Adobe ''Digital Editions'' reader. For example, this site: http://www.ereadable.com/scripts/browse.asp?ref=0321524977&source=J22 Or this Russian site, which seems to be offering either a good PDF or a stolen PDF (They also want to run some activeXcontrol) : http://avaxsphere.com/ebooks/programming_development/Rail_Way.html I tried to order the DRM ebook through diesel-ebooks but they seem to be having problems, won''t answer my questions, and do not provide a download. I don''t know if they''ll bill my credit card, either. It''s been 4 days since I ordered the book. Has anybody successfully gotten the ebook version of ''The Rails Way'' ?

I might be able to find a copy of the .pdf ebook if you ask nicely. I''m not at home right now, otherwise I would have checked for you.

No, no. I just thought I had a copy somewhere. I know I have a couple of different rails books, I just don''t know which ones. (I should probably get to reading... but I''m too busy getting thru RailSpace and Calculus at the same time). Besides, he said he paid for it, or at least tried, so that''s the only reason I even offered to look.

I was looking at this book over the weekend at Borders and I must admit, this one, the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails & Rails Recipes are books you want by your side. It might be a little expensive but it''s worth it. I have the 2nd two and will probably get this one soon. Check it out Ryan.

I was thinking about reading Agile Web Dev sometime. But I bought RailsSpace first since I needed something that dealt directly with a lot of what I was doing (creating users, giving them profiles, etc etc). I think I might buy that one next though.... but probably not until I finish Calculus 2. I am only allotted so much time just to think per day, lol. I haven''t seen Rails Recipes, yet though. -Ryan On Jan 15, 1:18 pm, mel ram <mel...-IA9i2KS8NFBpEKysQ+xqfPpXobYPEAuW@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I was looking at this book over the weekend at Borders and I must > admit, this one, the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails & Rails Recipes are books > you want by your side.

having already purchased a hard cover (it really is a great book), i would be pleased to purchase a non-drm pdf--pragprog''s style would be fine with me, but i do not want to be forced to use the crippled adobe drm-pdf reader a la dieselbooks, nor do i want an html version (or pdf-indiv chapters) a la oreilly [they need to get their s**t together on the ebook wagon--safari indeed]. that said, i would be happy to download a grey version until a legit is available. so, remember away. thanks, chris On Jan 15, 2:08 pm, Jodi Showers <j...-BOB1p6JRLoAV+D8aMU/kSg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey Ryan, > > On 15-Jan-08, at 1:10 PM, kopf1988 wrote: > > > > > > > I might be able to find a copy of the .pdf ebook if you ask nicely. > > I''m not at home right now, otherwise I would have checked for you. > > > If you email me I''ll see what I can do tonight. > > > -Ryan > > > On Jan 15, 11:47 am, "Greg Donald" <gdon...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > >> On 1/15/08, fredistic <fredis...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > >>> Has anybody successfully gotten the ebook version of ''The Rails > >>> Way'' ?
