1st paragraph

Paragraph states..

If you visit this page in a browser, refreshing will not update the time displayed on the
page.


But using the code in exmaple 2.29, the time on the page does update, after refreshing the browser.

Sc0tt...

In the Kindle version of the book in the Cookies section on 3rd paragraph there's a typo. The text reads:

deleting is accomplished in similar fashion using repsonse.delete_cookie.

And should be:

deleting is accomplished in similar fashion using response.delete_cookie.

The text says "you may recall we used a rackup file in Chapter 1 to deploy code to Heroku", but deploying code to Heroku had not been mentioned at all up to this point.

FIgure 3-3

Figure 3-3 shows a picture that appears to show the output of example 3-10, but in fact it shows the output of example 3-9. This would be more informative if it actually appeared before example 3-10 and after 3-9.

Example 4-22

Using Ruby 1.9.3p258 and Sinatra 1.4.0 the example for capturing subclasses as middleware will overflow the stack on first request.

Per an earlier errata post: "suspect this occurs because the subclasses inherit themselves as middleware from ApplicationController."

Example 4-16

Example 4-16. controllers/example_controller.rb - this should be "views/example.erb", as example 4-15 has the used this name already.

Note from the Author or Editor:
You are correct; this has been addressed and will be resolved in the next edition.

1st paragraph

"Now the real question is how to run it." - oK, maybe this is just me, but for a newbie it is probably not obviouls that you need to run it using "rackup -p 4567 -s thin". Would be nice if this was explicitly stated.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed; the language has been adjusted in the next edition.
