Quick links post:
Gregory Brown is looking for comments and donations for a proposal for a Ruby Mendicant University, basically a rolling online Ruby course.
Charles Nutter is interviewed by InfoQ on the state of JRuby.
Yehuda Katz has a long post on various kinds of extensions in Rails 3 – gems, plugins, generators. This one I need to look at in some detail.
The new RubyMine 2.5 beta integrates with Pivotal Tracker. Looks like you can tell RubyMine what story you are working on and it will tag your source control comments. Cool.
Book Status
Working on the style/quality chapters, integrating material from the ChicagoRuby talk. Probably not a beta next week, but maybe the week after.
