[Rails] [ADV] Rails Recipes Beta Book is now available

[Bob Silva]

Just downloaded it Dave. Where would you like ideas for other recipes sent
to? You see a lot of repeating patterns here on the list and it would be
nice to have those covered as well if possible.

> 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.

> If you're used to other recipe-style books, you'll be surprised by

> substitute a string into a template" recipes. Instead, you'll find
> code to solve the kinds of problems you face in real applications:
> using multiple databases, handling sortable lists, using tags, and
> many, many more.
> 
> Right now, we're about 1/3 done. The current beta PDF contains 21
> recipes: we'll be growing it to about 70 recipes over the coming
> months. As well as the opportunity for the usual great feedback, one
> reason we're releasing this early is to solicit ideas for other
> recipes folks would like to see.

> As always with our Beta Books, you'll be able to get lifetime updates
> to the PDF, both during the beta process and for the life of this
> edition of the book. If you also order the paper book, it'll ship
> just as soon as we have it in stock (probably sometime in May or
> June, but you know what authors are like...)
