  1. But of course, for those who like both, and also like "The Well Grounded Rubyist" you may want to check out thecompleatrubyist.com :)
  2. @fmcauley: Glad you're enjoying Ruby in Practice, but it and RBP have totally different goals, so they don't compare well.
  3. @Cadwallion, let me know what you think once you've had a chance to dig in.
  4. @ErrantWanderer: I trust O'Reilly's judgment here about profitability. The folks at AW are nice, but I'm not really looking to shop around
  5. @edavis10: Not wild on the self publish route, didn't work well for Ruport book (ruportbook.com)... Also, @oreillymedia has been great.
  6. @edavis10: I'd need to write it first, but @bradediger and I are considering our options. Ebook is one, training events are another.
  7. @edavis10: Something along the lines of: http://pastie.org/636666 (+ something about deployment).
  8. Based on RBP's sales (neither horrible nor great), O'Reilly is not likely to print "Industrial Strength Ruby". Ebook an option. Thoughts?
  9. @shinzui: ah, that *does* sound shiny. Thanks for letting me know.
  10. @shinzui, haven't used rak before, I'm not perl-averse so ack does the job for me. But good to know that there is a Ruby alternative
  11. Life (or at least an hour of it) saved by ack today ( http://betterthangrep.com/ )
  12. Awesome, Masayoshi Takahashi just informed me that he's involved in the project to translate RBP to Japanese.
  13. Wow, Reia is really great. Still very young, but I definitely am going to investigate more. http://is.gd/4lqyW
  14. @fringley: Maybe you should write the second edition, then. :)
  15. RT @compleatrubyist: Use discount code TCR5PLUS to get 10% off for groups of 5+ for @compleatrubyist training http://is.gd/42Hgu
  16. Finally into Google Wave, thanks @kmsolorio
  17. Caliper is awesome. A chance to use metric_fu for the incredibly lazy. http://devver.net/caliper
  18. hey @hukl: Glad you're enjoying the book. Let me know what you think when you finish it.
  19. @duwanis: True enough, though if I had to live without one... :)
  20. But hey, thanks!
