The last i is crossed, the last t dotted, and we’re
now taking pre-orders for the second edition of Programming Ruby (the
PickAxe).
You can order online at our store. Information about the book is available at here.
We’re offering the paper book, a fully hyperlinked PDF version, and a combo pack that contains the two. Despite the fact that the new book is more than 250 pages bigger than the old, we’ve managed to keep the price about the same. We’ve also found some good shipping options for folks buying the book outside the US.
The book will ship from our store in the first week in October. Bookstores and places such as Amazon will have it some time after that (it takes some time to percolate through the channels). We’ll ship books in the order we receive orders, so pre-order now and be one of the first to get a shiny new PickAxe!
