You can now download our rails book FREE

Hi all,

I just thought that I'd let you all know that (for the next 60 days) you can download our Ruby on Rails book free.

http://rails.sitepoint.com

We've updated the book with all known errors as well as overhauled the entire chapter on de-bugging. Even if you've already got a copy it's worth grabbing an update.

Feel free to spread the word to anyone you know who's interested in Ruby on Rails...

All the best,

Threw a link on my blog. Free programming books are always welcome. Thanks!

Hello,

thanks for the free book, but to even start the download its taking ages.

I've got the paper version but am very grateful for the PDF! It's always nice to have for when you just need to reference and don't have the book handy.

Is this an omen of things to come? I sure would like my entire SP book library in PDF also

Thanks for that - it will also make it easier to answer people's problems posted to this forum, that are specific to the book!

It's a 20Mb file so it might take some time -- I take it by now you've got your copy?
