It's been a long time coming, but we're very pleased to announced
that Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd Edition, is now in stock
and shipping. Get 'em while they're hot :-)

For details, please visit http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/ti...

The Rails community needs the most up-to-date information it can get.
So here's the Second Edition of the Jolt Award winning book that
shows you a new approach to web development:

* develop sophisticated web applications quickly and easily;
* use incremental and iterative development to create the web apps
that users want; and
* get to go home on time.

This is a substantial overhaul to the first edition. In this book
you'll find information on migrations, RJS templates, respond_to,
integration tests, and all the new ActiveRecord features (including
polymorphic associations, join models, and eager loading). And it
incorporates another year's worth of Rails best practices.

Available now from http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/ti.../

Coming soon:

* Release It! Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software

Great! Looking forward to getting my copy. Is it being released in an
Indian edition at the same time or later? I saw that some of your books
are now being sold in Indian editions as well, via Shroff Publishers.

Looks like a database problem. Which is not surprising considering the
government is run by a bunch of dumbasses.
