Ruby Best Practices - Full Book Now Available For Free!

That about says it all! Kudos to the author for doing this, and please donate and support him!

@wayneeseguin has put out a nice set of docs on how to use the rvmrc file with his excellent Ruby Version Manager.

For those who don't know, RVM is a nice and simple way to test out different versions of Ruby and gems with them for testing, playing with the new Rails 3.0 beta, testing your sites against different scenarios, testing beta versions, etc.

Gregg Pollack has a nice set of presentation slides of his talk Rails 3 Beautiful Code, showing some of the new hotness of Ruby on Rails 3.0.

Ruby on Rails folks will probably be interested that RailsConf 2010 is now open for registration, and they have their list of speakers and sessions up.

Well, on the heels of the Github downtime last night, and perhaps related (* twirls mustache*), Rails 3.0 beta has been committed.

There's also a new app on edge rails post up for people who want to give it a shot.

No, it's not released yet (as far as I know anyway), but the Ruby on Rails 3.0 Release Notes are a nice friendly look at what will be coming down the pipe.

Sweet little ruby gem (pardon the pun) to allow you to access RDoc via OSX's Dictionary.app. Very nice little hack! Thanks for passing it on @dkubb!
