A few cool developments

My Deploying Rails Applications Book has shipped in print form! This book has been two years in the making and was rewritten a few times as the Rails deployment landscape shifted. I’m so glad it is finally in print \m/ Big thanks to all my co-authors and beta readers who gave valuable early feedback.
And in other amazingly beautiful news, Rails runs on Rubinius as of last night!. A huge round of applause for Evan, Wilson, Brian, Ryan, Eric and Eero, the rubinius core team and also to all 150 rubinius contributors. This is a huge milestone for the project. Being able to run rails, which is one of the largest and most complex ruby programs out there is huge. This means that rubinius is now ruby compatible for the most part. Now the team can start to steer their focus on speed improvements like JIT , polymorphic inline caching, LLVM and various other techniques for making rbx smoking fast.
Congrats on getting the book to print! This is the one book that I've been waiting on for a long time! :) Rubinius sure is looking better and better all the time, isn't it?
Congrats man! I can't wait to see what Rubinius pulls off next!
Good stuff, Ezra ! I've had the book since beta, and I appreciate the way you've tackled a hairy topic with such clarity.
The book is awesome, what an excellent piece of work. I've really enjoyed the PDF, it's been super helpful. Rubinius... on Rails... already!?! YEAH!
Got to hand it to you, this is a supremely hard book to write. Read through most of the final pdf and its great info. Unfortunately the timing is off. As soon as you explained all the in's and outs of nginx / mongrel, I'm off using mod_rails for my new projects. Second edition might be needed sooner than you think! :-)
