I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll find it short and easy to follow). - I changed the

To reverse a migration that sets a default value, do you set the default to nil? And, if you''re setting a couple of default values just to make early development easier, is it best to do that directly to the database and not clutter your migrations with them?

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it''s now part of core. However,

Would any one else say that enterprise systems (+150 tables) are mainly consisted of wizards. The flow in the software from screen to screen is looselt based on how the business flows, and is required to be very structured.
