Hi –

Rails Envy (the “I’m xxx”, “And I’m Ruby on Rails” people) has produced  
two Envycasts on Ruby 1.9, featuring me presenting new 1.9 features,  
some tips, a few pitfalls to watch for if you’re migrating code, and  
general 1.9 literacy.

You can get Part 1 and Part 2 separately, or get them together for a  
discount. It’s a great way to get your bearings in 1.9 and learn some  
cool and useful things about strings and encoding, arrays, hashes,  
enumerators, the new block variable rules, and more.

Enjoy!
