Ask HN: Is rails tutorial unfair priced?
It is about half price to buy the book and DVD from Amazon compared to the webiste direct pricing.
I personally think they are great value(even a bargain) even at 125$ but is this fair pricing? I am refering to the screencasts mainly.

- martey 14y agoNo. The first paragraph of that site states "the Ruby on Rails Tutorial book is available for free online."
- adrianmn 14y agoI am refering to the screencasts - buying them from a publisher company as DVD's for half price or directly from the author for full price
- martey 14y agoOne of the HN guidelines is "please don't use HN posts to ask YC-funded companies questions that you could ask by emailing them." Similarly, I think you might get a more authoritative answer to your question if you contacted the author directly. http://ruby.railstutorial.org/contact http://ruby.railstutorial.org/contact
