Rails Test Prescriptions 2 Is Coming
I’m pleased and more than a little surprised to be announcing the existence of _Rails Test Prescriptions 2_, (which may not be the final title). You have questions. Even if you don’t, I have answers. ### Can you give the news in the style of a movie poster tag line?...
All I Post These Days Is Status Updates
Here’s where we are at the moment. ## Master Space & Time With JavaScript: Ember I think I may have finally gotten my head around the Ember release plans. My current understanding is that: - A 1.0 final release of core ember is imminent, possibly as soon as September 1....
More State of The Stuff, July 2013
## Ongoing update and stuff I know, I haven’t been blogging much. I can always tell when I’m putting things off because the half-finished blog posts stack up. First, [Master Space and Time In JavaScript](/mstwjs) is still on sale, and for the moment it’s still $15. Somebody using the twitter...
State of The MSTWJS Union, June 2013
Here is the state of the _Master Space and Time With JavaScript Union_ as a I currently understand it. First, you can, you know, [buy the book](/mstwjs). Please. An update to the Ember book should be going out next Monday or so. It has about 10-15 page chapter walking through...
Status Update
It’s been well over a month since the last official update to [_Master Space and Time with JavaScript_](/mstwjs), and since I was hoping to get updates out more-or-less weekly, it’s probably a good idea to check in and let you know what’s going on. (Could be worse, though, I’m still...

How's it Going? MSTWJS Edition
And now for a more inside-baseball post about how the self-publishing aspects of [Master Space and Time With JavaScript](/mstwjs) are going. Did you know you can [buy it](/mstwjs)? Short answer: Pretty well, though I could always have done better. Still unclear how this will work over the long haul. At...
The Origin of Master Space and Time With JavaScript
I have a new book, [Master Space and Time With JavaSript](/mstwjs). You can [buy it](/mstwjs). Here’s the secret origin. This all started over a year ago. _Rails Test Prescriptions_ had been complete for a few months, and I was getting a little antsy to take on a new project. But...
Master Space And Time Release Plan
There is a plan. It goes like this: [Master Space and Time With JavaScript](/mstjs-form) will be split into four parts. Part one and part two will be available sometime in July. I’d say July 1st, but I’ll [still be in Scotland](http://scottishrubyconference.com/charity/). It’d be sooner, but there are still logistics to...
Master Space And Time With JavaScript Update: The First Couple of Chapters
It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that I’ve been writing the same two or three chapters for six months. I think — I hope — this is the last time. This is a more or less weekly update on [the manuscript currently known as Master Space & Time...
Self-Publishing Workflow Update
Next up on the [Master Space and Time With JavaScript](/mstjs-form) status report is the workflow that takes my words and turns them into a PDF. And an HTML file. And an ePub. And don’t forget Kindle. As you can imagine, this is something of a minefield, although there are a...
Master Space And Time With JavaScript Status 5-08
Now that the [new book](mstjs-form) is public, I’m going to start doing more frequent status updates. It’s going to be weird for me, after keeping the project under wraps for so long, but I’m sure we will all get by. When the book, shall we say, reverted back to me,...
