Hi all, I am about to start a new RoR project. Which version of mysql is the current best one to use? I will be using the soon-to-be-released RoR 1.0 for the project.

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there.

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?

hi, This is regarding the "Depot Application". Section 9.3, Iteration D3 -- Highlighting Changes. I''ve followed this exactly according to the PDF, but it doesn''t work. The Ajax cart works, the blind_up and blind_down works. But couldn''t get the highlighting of the current item to work. Tested in Opera 9, FireFox 1.5 and IE 6 -- no luck !! I even

Hi, I''m currently learning Ruby on Rails using "Agile Web Development with Rails." I am using RadRails as my development environment. Everything has been going along well, until the end of chapter 7. Just before the end of the chapter, we set up our store pages so that they can be styled with the depot.css stylesheet.
