I love the implementation of AJAX within the comment system!

I only wish some of the edit features in the HUB used this AJAX feature. I guess after I finish the book, then I will have to go out on a limb and see if I can add some AJAX features to the HUB ;)

My first post

This is the first post on any RailsSpace blog. I hope it works!

Hey Mike, I think your work is great. You and Aure have disrupted the websphere in a positive way. Now only people with content can have social networking sites that tick! Thank you!

Hi Mike,

I have several questions.

1) I didn't find a complete source code for this book. Can you provide me with the link or email me at opolyo01@yahoo.com

2) I don't quite understand how "remember me" works in Chap 7. You do store "remember" into cookie, and you do use beforfilter in usercontroller :protect.

Why other controller such community, blog,... will also have knowledge of remember me? Do you have to put before_filter :protect in every controller?

Oleg.

Hi I am a beginner, and must say the book is great. and it is exactly what I was looking for. My question is what patch do I have install on my computer. I have 1.86 but on a picture in the book you have 1.84. Which one do I have to use for best learning results?

Thanks.
