Weird that the skipped out on Hartl Tutorial in their announcement, it's actually been in Beta for awhile: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial

Obviously, these lists aren't comprehensive: I have commit to Rails, am helping to write a book on Rails 4 [1], and it's not listed, either. ;) AWDWR is actually tested as part of each release,[2] so it obviously gets a big shout-out. 1: http://www.manning.com/bigg2/ http://www.manning.com/bigg2/ 2: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/RELEASING_RAILS.rdoc#is-sam-ruby-happy--if-not-make-him-happy https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/RELEASING_RAILS.r...

  We need to get your Rails 4 book up there then Steve :D I actually would love to see a comprehensive list, obviously can't all fit in this short release post!

    It's a little farther behind the others, Ryan had updated it for Rails 3.2, and I'm updating it for 4, and my editor and I are going over the first half of the book's updates now. AWDWR is already 100% updated (and I think CRA is too), so it makes sense that mine didn't get mentioned; it's hard to both work on Rails and work on writing a book on Rails.

Thanks for mentioning this. You're right that the beta book has been out for a while, and I've tried updating the Rails Tutorial for the release candidate as well, but the new RC breaks tons of tests in the sample application. I probably won't have time to figure out the cause of the breakage until after RailsConf is over, but I'll plan to get to this ASAP next week.

  Love the book and so happy it is available (I am sure I speak for many others). If you need any help with the sample application please shoot me a message! Would be glad to pitch in some time.
