We are very proud to announce the immediate availability our new book, Rails for PHP Developers. Published by The Pragmatic Programmers, it can now be purchased as a Beta Book.

A "Beta Book" means that the book is near completion, and you can purchase it in its current form before the final version ships. You'll receive regular updates and the final version when it is completed.

The new Rails book embodies a year of effort by Maintainable engineers Derek DeVries and Mike Naberezny. It is based on our extensive experience working on both PHP and Ruby applications in our consulting practice.

We have also launched a support site for the book that will contain supplemental materials and other useful information.
