Contributing to "Advanced Rails Recipes"

The latest Beta update to the new Pragmatic Programmers book Advanced Rails Recipes: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps includes two chapters authored by myself.

They are both complete rewrites and updates of two of my popular blog posts Rails searching with Sphinx and iPhone on Rails – Creating an iPhone optimised version of your Rails site using iUI and Rails 2.

The new recipes are:

• Full-Text Search with Sphinx – includes a Rails site that uses Sphinx to index the Rails API.

• Support An iPhone Interface – with a TODO list app.

Along with these two (worth the purchase price on their own!), there are another 79 great recipes with some of the latest Rails best practices in small, easy to implement chunks.
