You are reading the text of an O'Reilly book that's under development. The authors are publishing the book to this site as it's being written, and we're putting it here to get feedback from you. This book uses the Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS), an O'Reilly experiment that tries to bridge the gap between private manuscripts and public blogs.
Next to every paragraph, there is a link you can use to comment on what you're reading. We are grateful for any feedback you have: questions, comments, suggestions, and corrections are all welcome and appreciated.
Rails in a Nutshell is a concise introduction to Rails, an overview of commands and configurations, and a guide to the parts of Rails you’ll be using every day.
Full of examples and explanations, this book kicks your skills into high-gear by showing you how to take advantage of the Model-View-Controller concept with tiny but expressive bits of Ruby that power some of the world’s biggest and fastest web services.
Fast to launch and a pleasure to get there are hallmarks of working with Rails. Rails in a Nutshell gets the right stuff in your hands quickly and without fuss, so you can experience it yourself.
Follow the progress of the book on Twitter twitter.com/railsnutshell, at railsinanutshell.com, and at the book's catalog page.

are the books docbook sources available?
Hi Pratik,
The docbook sources are heavily modified by some code-generation tools and other stuff that pieces it all together, so I imagine they wouldn't be that useful.
Once the first edition is out, ping us again and we'll see if we can figure something out.
Post is nicely written and it contains many good things for me. I am glad to find your impressive way of writing the post. Now it become easy for me to understand and implement the concept.Essay writing
