Hi everyone --
Writing from Canada (just finished attending Canada on Rails, which
was a big success), to let you know that my book "Ruby for Rails: Ruby
techniques for Rails developers" has now been released in PDF by
Manning Publications, with the paper publication to follow in the
first week of May. You can order either or both at the Manning
website.
Manning has been having some website issues (they've been doing a
whole huge migration), so please be patient as you step through the
slightly rocky landscape 
When you go to http://www.manning.com/black, you may be asked to click
through to another site (secure.manning.com), which is their backup
sales site during the transition. If so, just click through and there
you'll be.
And please drop by the Author Online forum at
http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=200!
David
P.S. There are two sample chapters available for free. They're on the
http://www.manning.com/black site (not yet on the other, I think), so
check there first

Hi everyone –

techniques for Rails developers” has now been released in PDF by
Manning Publications, with the paper publication to follow in the
first week of May. You can order either or both at the Manning

David,
Congratulations! I just wrote a review of the Beta/Early Access book
programs of a number of publishers, Manning included. Yours was
the example I used. I loved your book, and said so in the review. It
should be published around mid-week.
I’ll be doing a review of several Ruby books in the near future and
yours will again be one of them (a review of the book rather than
the beta program). I’ll be giving it very high marks then too. I
really think that this might become the book I recommend to people
just coming to Ruby. I’m not sure I can say enough good things
about it.

Quoting dblack@wobblini.net:
What version of Rails does it talk about? 1.0? 1.1?

Sorry to be dense, but add "what"? I've tried adding the pdf and then
the hard copy, vice versa, and just doing the hard copy to see if it
mentions the pdf. If both the pdf and the book are in the list, the
price jumps to the sum of the two regardless of the order I add thing
in.
A little help here?

Would we still get the PDF if ordered through Amazon.ca (for
Canadians?). They have the book at 34% off at CAD 40.xx which is a
pretty good price actually. No mention of the PDF though. Is there an
included CD which contains the PDF?
Thanks,
Amr

Guys,
FWIW, I just ordered the paper version and a couple minutes afterward, I
received an email with a link to the PDF download.

I agree, it is confusing. If you go to the home page, it says you get
both [1], but on the product page they list them seperately [2]. In
the basket it's simply described as "Softbound print book".
I figure they're not going to lie on their home page, so I ordered the
print edition. Just checked my mail, and indeed, I already have a
link to download the PDF.

The manning site is different than it was when I tested this on Saturday. When I clicked on the "Add to cart" button next to the Print version, I got a shopping cart page with two items in it and no charge for the pdf.
The old page was a Manning hosted page, not the current Yahoo stores implementation.
