PragDave and Rails...

Dave Thomas:

Just to get the ball rolling, I'm just starting to write the second book in the series (if you count PickAxe II as the first)---I'm working on an introduction to Rails.

Heh, the rest of the post is even better ;-)

Bet You a Beer...

(and this being a small world, chances are you'll get to pay up ;-) that Mr. Bosworth had a hand in Google Suggest.

After KISS and The Mom Factor, stuff like this plays too well to it.

Speaking of Mr. Bosworth, I love this paragraph from his recent ISOC talk:

So it goes with software. That software which is flexible, simple, sloppy, tolerant, and altogether forgiving of human foibles and weaknesses turns out to be actually the most steel cored, able to survive and grow while that software which is demanding, abstract, rich but systematized, turns out to collapse in on itself in a slow and grim implosion.
