The online version of the book is continually edited, so it will be more up-to-date than the printed copy. I doubt there's much (or anything) in the printed book that is out-of-date (i.e., no longer correct), particularly given that web2py maintains backward compatibility of the API. However, there may be a few new features that are not in the printed book (and may not even be in the online book yet). To help identify newer features that may not be in the book, you can look at the change log at http://web2py.com/examples/default/changelog (link accessible from the download page). I think the printed copy of the book was up-to-date as of somewhere around version 1.81 (maybe a little later). Anthony
