It's a great book for Rails 2. I'd wait for a Rails 3 revision though.
It's true, but does Rails 3 even have a target release day yet? It's still worthwhile to learn about Rails 2, since it's what's usable now.
I do anticipate getting a copy for Rails 3, for sure.
Its indeed a great book. It covers a lot depth which is unseen in other Rails books. But it hasn't kept up with the speed of Rails development. I really hope Obie revises the text and releases another version soon.
Thanks I will. That one's been on my list for a while actually. I had not realised that it actually walks you through the internals though. Maybe this will be the impetus I need to finally get around to snaffling it.
It is really, really hefty. I have a copy from 2007, and it's 910 pages.
