Agile Web Development with Rails Second Edition is now available

This is a second edition of an excellent book that is a must have for anyone interested in Ruby on Rails. Agile Web Development with Rails Second Edition can be downloaded as PDF in its final form and, according to Pragmatic Programmer email will be available in printed form on December 15.
The best part is that it does talk about Starter Toolkit for DB2 on Rails as a way to get set up with DB2 and Ruby on Rails very quickly. It does not talk enough about it but I am a bit biased in this area.

New version of Starter Toolkit for DB2 on Rails is available!

It has only been short 5 months since we released the first Starter Toolkit for DB2 on Rails v1.0. Since then we released v1.1 in mid-June, version 2.0 on October 4 and in early November we released version 2.1. This is agile release schedule for an agile development technology.
If you did not get version 2.1 yet, go to IBM alphaWorks at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/db2onrails. This new version includes final version of the DB2 Express – C 9; improved handling of LOBs, BLOBs, and XML data types; and significant performance and quality improvements.
