Full Draft of the Rails Tutorial 3rd Ed

There are still a bunch of little things I want to tweak in the 3rd edition, but this draft should give you a good idea of what the final book will look like. Comments and feedback are welcome.

Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial was the best book I have read for learning Rails. I picked it up during university and quickly moved onto my own projects and from there into a career in web development. Without a doubt this book is the biggest contributor to me finding my first contracting job and I recommend it to anyone who shows interest in learning how to develop for the web. I will definitely be purchasing the third edition when it comes out, purely to show support for such a great resource.

Thanks Michael, I hope the third edition's launch goes well.

Michael, I'm currently working through the second edition - it's fantastic. I'm on chapter 5 but I'd like to switch over to the third edition. Is it worth restarting? Again thanks for such a great resource.

Hello - will the new 3rd edition come with an updated screencast series? How will you price the screencast + ebook bundle?

I wonder if you should just bump into 4th version so people don't think it goes with Rails 3.

Going through learn ruby the hard way, excited this is finished in perfect timing.
