Rails 2.3 is out in RC form. I expect most of you noticed that already.

  • Rolling out new updates for Rails Boxcar - Planet Argon has pushed their lowest price for VPS down to $35/month, where it becomes more interesting to play with (for me at least).

  • The RSpec Book is now in beta - After quite a wait, you can order this one and get a PDF draft.

  • What's New in Edge Rails: Nested Object Forms - Excellent writeup from Ryan Daigle.

  • Alternative Prawn handler for Rails - I haven't used the Prawn PDF library yet, but this looks useful.

  • scRUBYt! gem on Github - Worth a look if you have web scraping to do.

  • Ruby 1.9.1 & Friends - Ryan Bigg is doing excellent work at figuring out how to force Rails to work under the new version of Ruby.

  • Shuffling the Deck at WWD - All things change. I've left off writing for Web Worker Daily because I've got too much cooking in the Rails world these days.
