RSpec Book(s) on the radar

I just found this one: http://tinyurl.com/3c3mfa

David, are there any other RSpec books in the works?

With Regards,

Cody S.

I’m all over that like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm.

Nate

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hurry up! I’m on the wait list! (I think)

Yes!

Alsak and I are writing Behaviour Driven Development in Ruby with
RSpec for the Pragmatic Bookshelf.

It’s not yet listed on the prag bookshelf site as we don’t have a
definitive release date yet, but if all goes well, it should be
available as a beta book before the year is out.

Cheers,
David

We don’t have an official date yet, but you can trust that the second
we do there will be an announcement. I will say that we are getting
very close to beta, but there are a few hoops before we get there.

Curious, are the Stories going to be part of the rspec book?
Eagerly waiting on that one…

David…February has given way to September (almost) and stll no date or

Thanks!

It’s definitely happening. We’ve enlisted a few additional
contributors and the wheels are spinning faster now.

As for the beta book, I don’t know if there will be on at this point.
We may go straight to print. Either way, I’ll update as I know more
and I’ll start blogging about progress shortly.

Cheers,
David

If this has any sway at all… I’ve bought every (ruby/rails) beta book
from
pragprog and manning and nearly always followed it up with a hard copy
on
publication.

I’d like to see a beta please, please, please

Me too! If the decision was only mine to make, you’d see a beta book.
In fact, you may well see one anyway, but it is not my decision to
make and it’s a decision that has not yet been made.

As soon as I know something firm I’ll post about it.

Cheers,
David

I’m a big fan of the Prag’s beta program, 99 44/100% of the time it
results
in a much better book.

For a subject I’m interested in, and RSpec is certainly that, I usually
buy
the PDF + dead tree later package.

I just downloaded the latest beta edition of their GIT book today.

New info about the book?

It’s funny that you just asked the question because after getting the
Pragmatic b-day discount I wondered the exact same thing :slight_smile:
