Yes, I always seem to forget to mention the book. The web2py book is
probably the most often quoted and linked to resource in this group. It is
an excellent source of information and contains most of the information
required to bring anyone up from newbie to novice. I think the book is
updated once a year (will probably be updated again this October). The book
is slightly behind, but everything in it will work with the latest trunk
version. I think it closely follows web2py around version 1.95.1. We are on
1.97.1 now, and are probably close to 1.98.1 by now. So just browsing the
changelog for each release since 1.95.1 should give you a good idea of the
new developments since the book was last updated.
