[ruby-talk:01300] Announcing a new Ruby book
From:
Dave Thomas <Dave@...>
Date:
2000-02-10 18:43:22 UTC
List:
ruby-talk #1300
I'm pleased to be able to announce that Addison Wesley has signed Andy Hunt and myself to write a book about Ruby. We're currently about one-third the way through, and hope to have a finished manuscript by the end of April, with the book appearing on the shelves by sometime in the summer. The approach we're taking is different to matz's book--we're producing something more like (say) 'Essential Python': a tutorial section and an annotated reference to the libraries. We're aiming for 300-400 pages, so it should be a fairly easy read. We're hoping to post significant extracts to the web as they get finished. Addison Wesley is also looking to contribute resources that will help support Ruby in the US and Europe. In particular, they're hoping to work towards having US-based mirrors of the Ruby archives, and to be able to offer a US based site dedicated to the Ruby language. Reviewers needed ================ We're currently finishing off the first draft of the reference section that documents the standard classes and modules (String, Kernel and the like), and we're hoping to recruit some of you as technical reviewers. If you want to take it on, send an e-mail to Julie DeBaggis, our editorial wonderwoman, at julie.debaggis@awl.com. She'll do all the coordinating, getting the content to you, either electronically as a Postscript file or by mail. You then get to tear it apart. Particular in this phase, we're looking for detailed technical criticism--did we get it right, and did we cover it all. In exchange for all your efforts, I think you'll receive a small honorarium (probably below the minimum wage if your amortize it over the time you'll spend), and we'd love to recognize your work in the acknowledgments section of the final book. Perhaps more importantly, you'll be able to contribute to helping us produce an accurate and useful Ruby book, something we feel is essential if we're to get Ruby the acceptance it deserves in the US and Europe. Tell us what you think! Regards Dave Thomas & Andy Hunt
