Announcing the "Alpha Book" version of Flexible Rails. http://www.flexiblerails.com/
This is an in-progress, PDF-only book about using Ruby on Rails 1.1 and Flex 2 to build Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). It is not an exhaustive Ruby on Rails tutorial (Agile Web Development with Rails does that already) or a Flex 2 reference manual (Adobe ships over 3000 pages of PDF reference documentation with Flex 2). Instead, it is (in the process of becoming) an extensive tutorial, developed iteratively, on building a fairly interesting RIA using Flex 2 and Rails 1.1 together. It is currently 214 pages, or 169 pages if you don't count the Preface and the six Appendices full of installation instructions. I expect it is between 20% and 40% of the final length of the book. There are many revisions to come in the evenings and weekends over the months ahead. That said, there is enough useful material and code in it that I can sell it with the belief that readers will get their money's worth today. Obviously, purchasers of any version (Alpha, Beta, Final) of this first edition of this book are entitled to a free PDF copy of every subsequent version of this first edition of this book.
