Thanks Michael! My friend and I are just starting a website and we decided to do it using RoR even though our knowledge is close to none. We're both PHP developers and thought that if we made a website in RoR we would learn it by trial-and-error. I just heard about railstutorial.org today. I have skimmed through your tutorial book and find it quite useful. I will definitely read it in the next couple of days! (:

You're welcome! Be sure to send me feedback on anything you find confusing or if you find any errors. I should be able to fix them straightaway since my publication process goes something like this:

  $ <fix problem>
  $ git commit -am "Fixed problem"
  $ deploy tutorial

This generates the HTML and builds the PDF from the same source, and then pushes them both up to Heroku. It's very satisfying. :-)
