RSpec-2 and The RSpec Book

Testing RSpec
1

Hey all,

I’m happy to announce that The RSpec Book will be updated for RSpec-2
and Rails-3 before its final release. This, of course, means that the
print schedule will get pushed back, but we’ll have a couple of more
beta releases of the book before we go to print. I don’t know the
exact schedule right now, but I’ll follow up as it shapes up.

Cheers,
David

Wow, this is great news. Thanks, David! I’m sure it’ll be well worth the
wait; having the beta book available in the meantime gives RSpec users
the best of both worlds.

Cheers,

Good news. It’s hard for a dead-tree book authors to keep up with
changing software, even when he/she/they are the folks changing the
software.

I guess that the current beta PDF will serve as the best checkpoint
for RSpec 1 and Rails 2.x. I guess it’s time to print a personal
hard-copy.

That is probably a good idea, but we’ll be including notes in the book
about differences w/ the previous versions.
