If you’ve found it so usefull support the authors!
Here, here!! :))
Especially if you want a version for 1.8, if we all just send them
cheques for it before its printed can they but create it?
I’ve got the class and module library section all updated, but I’m
struggling knowing what to do with the standard library. In 1.8 it’s now
enormous, and documenting it all at the same level of detail as the 1.6
book does would be a gigantic task. Would people be upset if any new
version of the book had a more synoptic overview of the library (things
like yaml, opensll, etc)
Cheers

It would be nice if it were only printed (nothing fancy) with most of
the money going to the authors and some only going to cover the cost of
the printing and binding.

I almost never reference the library section of the Pickaxe book. It was
nice when I was first learning Ruby because I could flip through it to
get an idea of what was included. Now that I know the language, I almost
exclusively use ri for library stuff. After that, I check the ruby-talk
archives or just plain google.

You may already know this, but ri was created by Dave using Pickaxe.
