similar to: Apoligies but what is the status of the Agile book?

So, is there a summary of the changes since the first edition? It would be helpful to see just exactly what in Ruby on Rails has changed before ordering the second edition of the book. Could somebody briefly describe changes to Rails since the version covered in the first edition of the book?

so when I''m reading the pick axe book second edition I don''t see anything like the syntax you see people using in rails code. Specifically when you see. belongs_to :Person has_many :Phones etc these are methods on ActiveRecord right? Why is this invocation syntax never described in the Pick Axe book? I do see things like attr_reader :some_attribute etc but you

I''m new to Ruby and RoR but excited to learn what I can do with RoR; I have Pickaxe second edition and want to get "Agile Web Development with Rails" but I''m aware that the book was published some while before RoR version 1.0 was released. Has a lot changed since then, and would I therefore be advised to wait for a second edition of AWDwR? Many thanks in advance

I''m getting more and more "execution expired" as systems checking and hit puppetdb for the first time (switching from a mysql instance). The command queue isn''t long (1-5, if anything, all the time), and ym master itself seems to be dealing well enough. I have seen the collection time growing higher and higher though. This is a ~2K node deployment, and one of the few

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/.

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. -- Posted via

Hi folks, I see there are two books recommended on the RoR website. As usual I would like some recommendation from users on this matter. I am currently a .NET developer and familiar with a few languages outside of .NET. Which one of these books would be suitable for me to get started with end-to-end development? Or can someone perhaps recommend a different book they found useful? Many thanks,

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.

Hey guys, So, we're testing Gluster RDMA storage, and are having some issues. Things are working...just not as we expected them. THere isn't a whole lot in the way, that I've foudn on docs for gluster rdma, aside from basically "install gluster-rdma", create a volume with transport=rdma, and mount w/ transport=rdma.... I've done that...and the IB fabric is known to be

Hi! I want to detect brute-force password hacking attacks - thus if there are too many failed login attempts for a SIP account I want to "lock" this account. Does somebody have any ideas how this could be implemented? thanks klaus

been waiting (and checking spam filters) on 2 accounts i''ve tried to create in redmine for opening an issue, but yet to see any verification emails. thought I''d give you guys the heads up as I''m sure the dev''s don''t register accounts too often! just eager to open the 3.0 environment issue I''m seeing. Thanks! -- Matthew Nicholson -- You

Greetings, Recently a performance regression in chan_sip was discovered in Asterisk 1.8. The regression is caused by chan_sip setting MASTER_CHANNEL(HASH(SIP_CAUSE,<chan name>)) after each response received on a channel. That feature has been made optional in the latest 1.8 SVN code, but is currently still enabled by default. After some internal discussion, we decided to consider disabling

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

Hi, I have preordered natural selection quite a while ago and it seems like it is getting to a playable state, so I wanted to know if anyone could help me (and many others :)), to get natural selection 2 to work with wine. I would gladly give you a console log, but i don't even know how i start steam-games from console :/. (when i try "wine Natural\ Selection\ 2.exe", it says that i

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

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.

I''m currently searching around/reading up on exported resources, but figured I''d ping the list to see if someone had a quick answer. I''m collecting and exporting ssh keys, basically like the example in ProPuppet and in the wiki etc. I was collecting both rsa and dsa keys, and exporting all keys. I''ve stopped collecting dsa keys, we don''t care about

Hi. in the Rails Agile book here''s what was happening: >>> module StoreHelper def hidden_div_if(condition, attributes = {}) if condition attributes["style" ] = "display: none" end attrs = tag_options(attributes.stringify_keys) "<div #{attrs}>" end # format_price method ... end Note that we cheated slightly here. We copied code from the Rails
