Ruby's book list is out of date...

Jeremy McAnally

Hello all,
I was snooping about the Ruby site the other day (OK, like two weeks
ago) when I got bored, and I noticed the book page is out of date. I
e-mailed the webmaster e-mail address, but nothing has changed.

1) From Java to Ruby is out now (rather than Coming Soon).
2) Ruby Phrasebook is also out.
3) Rails Cookbook looks to be out also.
4) Ruby Quickly has changed to Hacking with Ruby which is probably
changing again...
5) There are a number of books that are coming soon and new in print
that aren't on there (e.g., the PragProg's Paypal+Ruby book, my Ruby
book, Apress's complete Ruby/Rails line other than Beginning Ruby,
Rails for Java Developers...).

Who maintains this section? I can e-mail them directly if that would
be more helpful.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Nearly, it goes to the printer in mid December so should be in
bookstores before too long.

HTH,

I have addressed these.

Email me the books you would like added and where. I'll get them in
there. Please view the page source and send them to me in that
format, so I can dump them right in.

Thanks.

Is it really? I've not seen it yet, and amazon says January.

I assume Jeremy meant it's now available as a Rough Cut:

Aahh. Good enough then. (I'm still looking forward to grabbing a
paper copy, I like the phrasebook format.)

ruby-doc.org has maintained a book list for a while now:

http://ruby-doc.org...


If folks are aware of Ruby books not listed, please let me know.

Is there a way to apply the DRY principle for these two?

Think of it as RARR:

Redundant array of Ruby resources.

It does seem like a needless duplication of effort. I'l ask the ruby-
lang team if we can just forward to the ruby-doc page...

That may work, except that many books won't fit into their current
format because they are PDF-only or self-published. Unless, of
course, they're willing to tweak that page to make it usable for those
sorts of books also?

I'll get that list in whatever format it needs to happen in on Monday;
you guys just let me know what you need or what site to format it
around. :)

Thanks,
Jeremy
