This is the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails. It covers Rails 1.2.

The Rails team recently released Rails 2. Some of the changes they made break Rails 1.2 applications, so we’re busy working on a brand new edition of this book. You can find details over here.

However, it will be a while before the paper version of the new edition is ready. In the meantime, and while stocks last, you can still buy the paper version of this second edition book at a 50% discount.

(If you’re looking for code or errata for the first edition of this book, you’ll find them here.)
