August 4, 2010: A couple of useful things
Book Satus
Still patching the Shoulda chapter together. Realized yesterday that Machinist is in the middle of a version 2 upgrade, which, along with some factory_girl changes probably means I have some tweaking to do in that chapter.
I haven’t run the buy links in a while. You can get the beta ebook and pre-order from Pragmatic and the book is also available from Amazon.
WindyCityRails
Early Bird pricing for WindyCityRails is scheduled to end today. I’m doing the PM tutorial on “Testing In A Legacy Environment”. Please sign up, I’d hate to talk to myself. Also watch WindyCityRails for another speaker announcement that should be coming up very soon. There’s already a great lineup, and they run a super-great conference.
