Hi –

I’m on the road, so I haven’t laid eyes on it yet – but word on the  
virtual street is that “Ruby for Rails: Ruby techniques for Rails  
developers” is now out in paper.

It will probably take a little longer to trickle to your neighborhood  
Barnes and Noble… but you can order it now from the publisher. See  
[Ruby for Rails](http://www.manning.com/black). And trickle it will, too.

If you want to talk about “Ruby for Rails” you can reach me at (among  
other places) the Author Online forum at Manning; there’s a link on  
the book’s page.

Happy Ruby-for-Railsing!

David

Yup. I got mine a day or two ago – just started reading it.

At first I thought it was nice to have the pdf instantly when I placed  
the order, but after reading a bit of it, I ended up waiting for the  
real paper version. Didn’t want to spoil that experience of getting a  
brand new book and starting it from the beginning. 🙂

I’ve got the paper version, great stuff. It’s already helped me clarify  
some things; the section that traces through the inherit/include  
hierarchy was quite helpful.

Yours,

Tom
