Flexible Rails

Flexible Rails is becoming a Manning book, and is going to cover Flex 3 and Rails 2. It's available now on the "MEAP" - Manning Early Access Program. There are currently 6 chapters (238 pages) available, which is about half the book. Even though the Manning book isn't as complete as the Lulu book was, I want everyone to buy it from the Manning Early Access Program so that I get as much current feedback as possible.

I have now "retired" the Lulu book. It went through 23 (!) revisions over the period of September 10, 2006 - October 24, 2007. It rose to #73 all time on the Lulu sales rank. When I first started writing it, making the top 100 was my goal for the book over its lifetime on Lulu, so I'm really happy that it made it. I had assumed that the "lifetime on Lulu" would have included at least one "non-Beta" version, so in some senses I'm "ahead of schedule"--but I had also assumed that the Alpha and Beta process wouldn't have taken over a year, so it balances out, I guess!

Anyway, I'm really grateful to everyone who bought the book on Lulu and gave me such great feedback. Thank you!!!

P.S. I'm not going to allow anyone new to join the flexiblerails Google Group, since it will be used for distributing the free updates and discounts that Lulu purchasers will get. Readers who buy the book through Manning will be able to use the Author Forum or just email me directly at peterarmstrong@gmail.com.
