Pragmatic Bookshelf planning a series of Ruby books
Posted by David Black on 19 Dec 2004
“Programming Ruby” author Dave Thomas of the Pragmatic Programmers announced plans for a series of Ruby books from the Pragmatic Bookshelf (the Pragmatic Programmers’ own imprint). “The intent is to create a series of books with a deeply practical focus. We won’t just document APIs. Instead, we want to show how to get value from those APIs—-how to solve real-world problems.”
See the full announcement for more information, including follow-up guidelines for potential authors.
