Everybody –

I’m excited to be able to announce the forthcoming publication of  
Professional Ruby On Rails, from Wrox Press. The book is intended to  
bridge the gap between a beginning tutorial and creating a solid  
professional application, including security, deployment, navigation,  
and project logistics. In addition, it has a very strong focus on unit  
and functional testing – most of the code examples in the book are  
presented with sample tests and a discussion of testing practices.

The book is slated for release is early 2008, and is in progress as we  
speak. The ISBN number is 9780470223888. If you’d like to know more  
about the book and it’s progress, I write about it on my blog at  
[http://10printhello.blogspot.com](http://10printhello.blogspot.com), and I’ve also added a Twitter feed  
where I tend to post about what I’ve done that day – you can find  
that at [http://twitter.com/noelrappinbook](http://twitter.com/noelrappinbook).

Thanks for your time,

Noel
