train came off the tracks in this one.
At the end I get:
RuntimeError in Books#new

Showing books/new.html.erb where line #5 raised:

Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
Extracted source (around line #5):

2:
3: <%= error_messages_for :book %>
4:
5: <% form_for(@book) do |f| %>
6:

7: Title

8: <%= f.text_field :title %>

when I go to http://localhost:3000/books/new

Great tutorials. Would love to find out how to cross reference books-authors, so see books per author. Haven’t figured that out yet…

Great work!
Been following a few tutorials but getting stuck as they were for old versions.

You have a couple of spelling / word mistakes which make some parts hard to follow as they change the meaning some-what, but I managed to work around those.

My only real gripe is that you don’t offer the “subscribe by email” feature from feedburner as I would love to get your latest posts in my email as I make a point of not using an feed reader as they used to take up so much of my day. It’s far nicer to subscribe to the things I like via email

Keep up the great work, and please, don’t skip over making an admin section and/or a user registration system etc as I think many people will be interested in knowing how to do that as lots of apps will require it.

E.g.
A way for users to register to bookmark books or buy them and a way for an admin to have an area to log in and manage the books. Via form authentication / sessions / remember me etc rather than via the password prompt from the browser.

Thanks again! I am starting to ride the rails.

Yours is one of the best tutorials for rails 2.

It helped me understand some concepts. I will be checking for the next tutorial.

Thanks.
