Hello all,
I was snooping about the Ruby site the other day (OK, like two weeks
ago) when I got bored, and I noticed the book page is out of date. I
e-mailed the webmaster e-mail address, but nothing has changed.
1) From Java to Ruby is out now (rather than Coming Soon).
2) Ruby Phrasebook is also out.
3) Rails Cookbook looks to be out also.
4) Ruby Quickly has changed to Hacking with Ruby which is probably
changing again...
5) There are a number of books that are coming soon and new in print
that aren't on there (e.g., the PragProg's Paypal+Ruby book, my Ruby
book, Apress's complete Ruby/Rails line other than Beginning Ruby,
Rails for Java Developers...).
Who maintains this section? I can e-mail them directly if that would
be more helpful.

I have addressed these.

Email me the books you would like added and where. I'll get them in there. Please view the page source and send them to me in that format, so I can dump them right in.
Thanks.

ruby-doc.org has maintained a book list for a while now:

OK.

Is it really? I've not seen it yet, and amazon says January.

Is there a way to apply the DRY principle for these two?
Think of it as RARR:
Redundant array of Ruby resources.

Aahh. Good enough then. (I'm still looking forward to grabbing a

That may work, except that many books won't fit into their current
format because they are PDF-only or self-published. Unless, of
course, they're willing to tweak that page to make it usable for those
sorts of books also?
I'll get that list in whatever format it needs to happen in on Monday;
you guys just let me know what you need or what site to format it
around.
Hi James,
You didn't update the sidebar, so when users click on that to get to
the books list, they get a 404. The other link on the documentation
page works great, though.
I'll contact the RubyDoc folks today; thanks.

Ruby-lang.org now points to the list to ruby-doc.org, so please send
them your requested changes.
