My Deploying Rails Applications Book has shipped in print form! This book has been two years in the making and was rewritten a few times as the Rails deployment landscape shifted. I’m so glad it is finally in print \m/ Big thanks to all my co-authors and beta readers who gave valuable early feedback.
And in other amazingly beautiful news, Rails runs on Rubinius as of last night!. A huge round of applause for Evan, Wilson, Brian, Ryan, Eric and Eero, the rubinius core team and also to all 150 rubinius contributors. This is a huge milestone for the project. Being able to run rails, which is one of the largest and most complex ruby programs out there is huge. This means that rubinius is now ruby compatible for the most part. Now the team can start to steer their focus on speed improvements like JIT , polymorphic inline caching, LLVM and various other techniques for making rbx smoking fast.
