Ruby injected into Practices of an Agile Developer

Bil Kleb

2/10/2006 11:41:00 AM

I recently had the pleasure to help review the
upcoming Pragmatic Bookshelf title, /Practices
of an Agile Developer/,

http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/t...

I don't know if was just me, or other reviewers
like Chad had a hand in it, but the final draft
that just came back had several mentions of Ruby.
RDoc also made it in.

Also, I (and others?) pointed out that the word
"compile" was a bit too old school for an "agile"
book, and it too changed in the final draft.

If you found /The Pragmatic Programmer/ a must-read
(although painfully lacking the "Ruby" word), you'll
definitely want to read this new title when it
becomes available next month.

Regards,

I also had the opportunity to assist in reviewing this book and must
concur that it's an excellent read.

The book was written before the pragmatic programmers' love affair
with Ruby, but Ruby is mentioned in passing in the book. I think they
were just beginning to discover the joys of Ruby then.

P.S: Just thought I'd provide that almost totally useless piece of information.

I wondered who'd be the first to fall into my trap, Trotsky.

Here's why they said that. It's called fascist fear and intimidation
tactics. Makes you proud.

""There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and
unjustified rate increases,'' Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and
Human Services, said in a letter to the insurance lobby."

""Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium
hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers
with basic protections,'' Sebelius said. She warned that bad actors could be
excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the
law. They would lose out on a big pool of customers, as many as 30 million
people nationwide."

Now see Trotsky? When will you ever learn? It's no use. I'm always, and
always will be, way ahead of you. It's best that you just shut your mouth.
I'll do all the thinking from here on out.

Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power,
forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry.

Fascism: a system of government characterized by strong, often dictatorial
control of political and economic affairs

Yeah, but since the democrats won't permit interstate competition. Might do
too much to bring down costs. Then you wouldn't be clamoring for the public
option that will put private insurance out of business and have you
dependent on government as planned.

I'm arguing with the party whose members would rather shoot
congresswomen than have health care reform.

I must be crazy.

That's a stretch, don't you think?

Cite?

And I'm arguing with a party that will make shit up on the fly in order to
be put in waiting lines, have his healthcare rationed, have higher cost, and
be subjected to death panels.

Oh, so you're lying because you're a delusional idiot. Thanks for the
explanation, Larry Fuckwit.
