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

Gentle Web Development Folk: Just in time for RailsConf, I''m happy to announce Jeremy Sydik''s book, "The Accessible Web", is now available in beta. This is particularly sweet as Jeremy and I first discussed this book in the hallways of last year''s conference. This book is all about making your website accessible web sites-- sites that can easily be used

Just in case some of you missed it, Pragmatic Programmers just published their first of a series of short, PDF-only books. This one is on qtRuby. It would be great to have something like this for wxRuby. I don''t think wxRuby is quite ready to this (yet), but I thought I''d plant the idea.

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 working my way through the Pragmatic Programmer book on RoR. Following their examples, I have the following code in a controller: begin @product = Product.find(params[:id]) rescue flash[:notice] = "Invalid product" logger.error("Attempt to access invalid product #{params[:id]}") redirect_to :action => :index else @cart = find_cart

I am a newbie Ruby and RoR user. In my tests using the turorials that I found over the web, everthing is working fine and I am very impressed about RoR framework. As I am a Delphi developer, without any web development experience, There is some thing hard to understando and I didn''t find a tutorial about this. I wonder how to create a non-scaffold page ? I have customers,

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

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.

Hi All, Pragmatic Dave Thomas tells me that Rails Recipes (http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_rr) is now shipping! He and Andy apparently have over a ton of books to deliver. If you''ve ordered a paper book, it''s soon on the way. If you''ve been waiting, now''s the time. Amazon is also has the book in stock

I''m hand editing my .css and .rhtml files using SciTE and hitting refresh in my browser to see the results - its slow going. What tools are people using to author their .css and .rhtml files?

Borders show it has to be ordered but Amazon says they have it but don''t show any reviews so what exactly is the true availability of the second edition? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

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,

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the

I implemented a "reindex" command which simply creates an IndexWriter with :create => true for a prexisting index. The "reindexing" seems to start out ok, with several thousand docs added, then Ferret throws an exception: IO Error occured: couldn''t rename file "index\_0.tmp" to "index\_0.cfs": <File exists> I guess that _0.cfs is held

Folks: Sorry for the commercial, but I''m excited about this one. I''ve been using TextMate for most of my work for a year now---if you''re on a Mac, it really is the best tool for writing Rails code. So when James Edward Gray II offered to write a book on TextMate, I jumped at it. James helps maintain the Ruby support in TextMate, and this knowledge comes

I am using the SaltedHashLoginGenerator. and would like to send the e-mail in multipart/alternative format. By default my application is using forgot_password_en.rhtml template. I read in the ROR Recipes book "ActionMailer sees these templates, recognizes the pattern in their file names, and automatically sets the MIME type of the message to multipart/alternative and adds

Hi, I''m confused about managing field boosting ... I have set the :boost for the :name field in my docs to 10, via :boost => 10 Then I performed a search for ''keith'' over all fields via with *:(keith*), expecting a doc with Keith in the :name field to come out on top. But another doc with Keith mentioned in other fields (:comments, :address) scored higher. I

Hi, I seem to be having trouble getting more than 10 hits from Index#search_each since upgrading to 0.10.2 (ie, this was working in 0.9.4). Maybe a bug, as the #search_each doesn''t seem to use the options parameter any more ?

I''m seeing the following in the WEBbrick console output after every GET 192.168.0.108 - - [03/Mar/2005:15:35:19 AUS Eastern Daylight Time] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 60 - -> /favicon.ico What does /favicon.ico (which doesnt seem to exist in my source) do for Rails? _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

Hey everyone, Is there Rails support for something like Google Maps, but using my own images/maps? Basically, I''d like to have my own maps/images, be able to drop markers on them, center on certain attributes etc. - Nic
