Summary: Great introductory material on code generation
Comment: The introduction and motivation are quite compelling, though a bit more detail on the dismissal of passive code generators (i.e. wizards) and focus on active code generators would be nice. The examples are also quite practical and seem high quality, though the use of Ruby is going to be a barrier to some.
There was one guest-written chapter that might as well have been elided, or should at least have been more edited to integrate cleanly. It repeated a lot of what had been said earlier, and could've just jumped straight to the point instead.
Finally, the code samples were a little repetitive in places. I would've preferred the book were shorter, with more info at the level between high-level and code (i.e. what does it make sense to paramaterize, and how should your generator work) rather than focusing either at the high level of 'architecture' or the low-level of 'how a single variable replacement works'. Still, an excellent book, and quite a good introduction for those who don't use code generators already.

Summary: Not very useful when the examples are written in RUBY!!
Comment: There's a lot of why and what but almost no "how" here, unless you want to learn a language called Ruby. He doesn't even give much in the way of Ruby code, either. It's mainly a lot of complicated program diagrams that look like an ad for Visio. If you want to read ABOUT code generation, buy it. If you want to see actual code generation, skip it.
Sorry, I can't jump on this bandwagon.

Summary: Excellent work!
Comment: I'm interested in code generation. Currently I started a project to generate different types of code (Java, HTML, EJB Descriptors, Database schema, etc..) starting from UML diagrams.
I found the book very useful for my work. It opened my mind about the different choises I have regarding code generation issues. It affected a lot the work I'm carring on.
I have in particular appreciated the chapter about Creating database access generators (Chaper 10) and Generatin business logic (Chapter 12).
Jack, Excellent work!
