So I just got my copy of Agile Web Development with Rails, 3rd Edition. Despite the fact that I admire both rails and the book tremendously, I wouldn’t buy it if I had it to do over again. The second edition is crucial, but I think they just ran out of gas on this one.
Who could blame them? Rails is moving faster every day. Let’s face it, the framework for agile web development is agile. This is good in general, but is tiring these poor authors out. You might as well wait for the 4th edition. That one is going to need to cover Merb too!
