Release Early, Release Often

The Rails folks have released Rails 1.2RC1. So I have removed the Agile Web Development with Rails—Second Edition book from my Christmas list. I already have the first edition and that wasn’t much help. Thanks, Mr. Thomas. Can we expect all the new features to be discussed in detail within this second edition? I should just wait for the third edition…or the fourth edition. Computer books tend to become out-of-date fast, but not this fast. I think a few people would get mad if paperback books used a “release early, release often” publishing schedule. Don’t you?

Maybe I shouldn’t even bother learning Ruby On Rails till the framework has matured and the frequency of new features has leveled off.
