Asp Forum - [ADV] B1.13 of AWDwR is now available

Folks:

I've uploaded the B1.13 version of AWDwR.

I've updated the Action View chapter: it now uses form_for for model-
based forms,
which will help with the eventual transition to Simply Helpful in
Rails 2. I also
show custom form builders.

I've also fixed all reported errata in the new content: I'll be
working on Action Mailer
soon, so haven't bothered to work on errata fro the old edition yet.

I need to stress that the book is written on the assumption that the
reader has
Rails 1.2 installed. As that doesn't yet exist, you HAVE TO HAVE EDGE
RAILS
for some of this stuff to work. Some folks like the following
description
of working with Edge:

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/07/11/installing-and...
edge-rails/

As usual, the update is available for free from

http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rail...

Enter just two of the three pieces of information to identify your PDF.
I recommend using your order number and your email address, as these
tend
to be be the most consistent.

A note on errata: please do keep them coming in. However, as I'll be
rewriting the chapters from the first edition (the ones with the gray
headers and footers) you might not want to stress too much about things
you find in these. Also, errata about bad page breaks and missing cross
references will be silently but brutally deleted, simply because that
kind of stuff is not really important until we come to finish the book.
Similarly, the entire index will be reworked when the book is finished,
so reporting missing index entries probably won't help much...

Thanks for your support for this project. Keep the comments
coming in.

Cheers

Dave Thomas

Guess again - the republicons ARE segregationist. And bigoted. That's
why blacks have sided with the dems for decades.

King's Nobel lecture, given December 11, 1964, after
being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize:

...
Another indication that progress is being made was found in the recent
presidential election in the United States. The American people revealed
great maturity by overwhelmingly rejecting a presidential candidate who
had become identified with extremism, racism, and retrogression. The
voters of our nation rendered a telling blow to the radical right. They
defeated those elements in our society which seek to pit white against
Negro and lead the nation down a dangerous Fascist path.

Racism On Full Display At GOP Convention
AUGUST 29, 2012

Two people were removed from the Republican National
Convention Tuesday after they threw nuts at an African-
American CNN camera operator and said, "This is how
we feed animals."

it there as long as he did before, I hear, that they finally painted over it,
is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country." - Herman

From the moment he arrived in Washington, Julius Caesar Watts Jr. has
been a political curiosity. Even his late father, Buddy, had trouble
figuring out how his son had wound up a Republican. "A black man voting
for the Republicans," he was often quoted as saying, "makes about as
much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."

Confederate flags.

The affinity Bush, and the rest of the Republican Party, have shown over
the past few years for men and groups with an extremist right wing bent
has already started to drive away some of the partys rising minority
stars. Faye Anderson, one of the few black women activists in the
Republican Party, was seen by the GOP as a rising star in the late 90s.
In 1997, the GOP established the New Majority Council with the explicit
goal of incorporating more minorities into the party. Anderson was tapped
to head the Council and the Republican effort to woo blacks and other
minorities. In March, the consistent GOP pandering to extremists finally
overwhelmed her and Anderson left not only the New Majority Council but the
Republican Party altogether. Citing Bushs visit to Bob Jones University
and his unwillingness to take a stance against the Confederate flag in South
Carolina, along with the continued ties of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott
to the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group; Anderson
explained, my switch [from the GOP to independent] comes in the wake of a
pattern of racial blunders that I cannot dismiss as mere mistakes. She
continued, The Republican Party should do some serious spring cleaning
because the stench up under the big tent with the likes of the CCC,
[former Klu Klux Klan leader] David Duke, Confederate flag wavers and Bob
Jones has become intolerable.

Powell Says Republicans Not the 'Black Guy's' Party

WASHINGTON -
U.S. retired Gen. Colin Powell said on Sunday the Republican Party
has failed to adequately represent America's blacks, but he would
consider serving as secretary of state under Republican George W.
Bush if the Texas governor wins the presidency.

Powell, a prominent black Republican whose popularity during the
Gulf War led to calls for him to step up as a presidential candidate
in 1996, has previously indicated he was notinterested in running
for vice president under Bush.

Powell said on Fox News Sunday the Republican Party is dangerously
close to being seen a party for whites, especially because of its
stand against affirmative action.

"It is certainly not seen as the black guy's party ... It has not
done well in the African-American community," Powell said in an
interview taped on Friday.

"I think too often the Republican Party has said we know what's best
for you as opposed to listening to the African-American community,
understanding some of the despair that exists in the African-American
inner city communities," he said.

Ravenel is a member of Moultrie Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and is
a supporter of the Confederate flag being flown at the South Carolina
statehouse. He provoked controversy at a rally for the flag in 2000 when he
referred to the NAACP as the "National Association for Retarded People".
Ravenel upset even more people after he apologized to mentally handicapped
people for comparing them to the NAACP. Many called for the Charleston
bridge to be renamed.

Ravenel once said that his fellow white congressional committee members
operated on "black time", which he characterized as meaning "fashionably
late".

In early March 1989, after his legislative victory, Duke
addressed a Populist party convention in Chicago, telling
the audience of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and skinheads
that he had run for office under the GOP label "because that's
where so many of our people are," adding, "I am a Republican,
but I am and always will be a Populist Republican!" Unbeknownst
to Duke, an opponent tape-recorded his remarks and later offered
the story to the Picayune.

"The more negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the
Negrophobe Whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's
where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the Whites
will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local
Democrats." - Kevin Phillips, Nixon political strategist, on the
republicon "Southern Strategy"

On Thursday night, a Republican Texas state representative made a
gaffe that would even make George Bush cringe. During a discussion
about payments being made to windstorm damage victims, Chairman of the
Joint Committee on Windstorm Insurance, Larry Taylor, showed us more
of the same from the Republican party with an outrageous statement.

Taylor: "Don't nitpick, don't try to Jew them down."

Controversy over an immigration opponent who spoke at the Conservative
Political Action Conference (CPAC) blind-sided conference organizers who
say they didn't know who he was before this week.

Al Cardenas, director of the American Conservative Union (ACU), which
organizes CPAC, said he had never heard of Peter Brimelow, editor of
VDARE.com, who has been labeled a white nationalist by the Southern
Poverty Law Center.
...
"It's shocking that the CPAC would provide a platform for someone like
Brimelow," said Michael Keegan, president of People For the American
Way. "Responsible GOP leaders should speak out against the bigotry and
hatred that Brimelow and VDARE push on a regular basis."

Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice believes the Republican
Party has an issue with the way it addresses certain demographics
and the topic of immigration reform.

Rice spoke with Bob Scheiffer on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday
morning, and told him that Republicans need a new game plan in
those areas.

"Well, the Republican Party certainly has to stop turning off large
segments of the population," Rice said, laughing. "I've said, you know,
it's not a strategy to keep hoping that parts of the population don't
turn out. Youve got to simply broaden."

and other minorities and gays. And we gotta stop that. And then
Colin Powell, I mean, he's long ago left the Republican Party, but
not in name.
