It looks like DHH was able to influence
Dave Thomas into
releasing a
Beta
version of Agile Web Development with
Rails. I
purchased the PDF+book edition to show my support and, frankly, I am not
disappointed. Though there are some layout and typographical issues, the
content is great. I feel like I’m finally getting up to speed on
Rails. I’m currently up to Chapter 5,
where the book dives into the development of an e-commerce web-app. I’ll
post a review once I finish the book. But, as of right now, I recommend
that anyone interested in developing web-apps with Rails definitely
pick-up a copy.
