Advanced Rails Recipes +14
(Tue Feb 26, 2008) [/Books] #
That's 14 more get 'er done recipes, for a total of 81 in the third beta revision of Advanced Rails Recipes. Yeah, I know I promised 72 recipes. Sorry 'bout that. Y'all just kept sending me more, and they were so good I simply couldn't resist. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the extras.

Now, don't tell my editor (Hi, Dave!), but I may end up sneaking a couple more juicy recipes into the final revision. They're already in progress, but not quite ready for the beta.
The book will go into production (copyedit, layout, etc.) very soon, so if you notice any problems and things that could use a bit more clarification, I'd really appreciate it if you'd file errata. I'll work 'em all off for the final revision.
Thanks to all the contributors for their fantastic work!
