Version 006 Now Available
Well, it’s been way too long, but revision 006 is now up at Lulu and on the download page of this site.
The two biggest changes are a new chapter on Rcov, and a general read-through and edit of the entire manuscript. Here’s the entire changelog:
- New chapter on Rcov
- Typos fixed from Dana Jones, Keith Gautreaux, and Greg Lockwood
- General fixes to things like external links
- Some more clarity in the mocks chapter
- Better discussion of setup blocks in setup chapter, also a much more detailed discussion of contexts and nested contexts
- Error in RSpec matchers section corrected
- Cucumber section benefits from more experience
- Couple of layout experiments. Per a suggestion from Jim Zajkowski, I’ve moved the sidebars to the right to enhance readability. I also changed the code font to Anonymous Pro.
Also, welcome to all the new readers, and a big thanks to Gregg Pollack for recognizing this book on the Ruby on Rails weblog. Hope you all like it.

I just bought the book and believe I have version 6.
However, in reading the first chapter it keeps making
references to 'the full book'.
Do I have the full book or not? How do I know?
If this is the real book, my comment would be that
this is highly confusing and all references to 'the full book'
should be taken out of the full book.
other than that, I'm enjoying the level of detail this
book provides.

Hi Noel,
It would be nice to add a Content page at the beginning with links to reach direct chapters
@confusion
If your pdf is 312 pages, it means you have the full version of the e-book
