It's been about 18 months since my first entry about Refactoring: Ruby Edition. It's been a long journey, but the book should be seeing day light in the next few months.
It's available for pre-order on Amazon now, and it should also be available on Safari in the near future.
Thanks to everyone who helped, and I hope the book is as fun to read as it was to write.
Can't wait to have that on my hands.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jay!
ReplyDeleteA refactoring book was long overdue and I'm glad to see you wrote it using ruby! Do you ever get any sleep?
Congrats, really looking forward to read it.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool, I missed this topic in ruby, thank you
ReplyDelete@Jay, have you found any refactoring tools for ruby / textmate? I'm pretty new to this domain, but I can't even seem to find an 'extract method' bundle at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOnce of these days I'll sit down and figure out how to write my own.
@Matt, I haven't seen refactoring tools for textmate, sorry.
ReplyDeleteThere are other IDEs that have some refactoring built in, but I don't think the pros outweigh the cons overall. Hopefully that will change shortly.
Cheers, Jay
I just got this book and have been enjoying it, but I found an error in the first chapter. I've been looking online for a list of errata, to see if it's already been caught, but I can't find any. Is there something out there already? If not, who can I submit the error to?
ReplyDeletebantic, you can send the information to rre.errata - at - jayfields - dot - com
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jay
