Shoulda in Advanced Rails Recipes

Mike Clark and the Pragmatic Programmers just released the beta version of their latest offering: Advanced Rails Recipes: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps. This is one of the few rails books I’ve been eagerly waiting for, so you can imagine how honored I was when Mike Clark asked me to review his section on Shoulda.

That’s right, folks! Shoulda got its own stake of land in recipe #22: “Getting Started with BDD.”

So head on over and grab the combo pack. You get the beta PDF now (‘cause none of us respect delayed gratification) and the print book when it ships – all for around $40.

thoughtbot is hiring

What are we up to?

We built Shoulda, an eclectic set of additions to Test::Unit; Paperclip to manage uploaded files without hassle; factory_girl a replacement for Rails fixtures; Jester, a REST/ActiveResource client written in Javascript, and Squirrel, an enhancement for ActiveRecord's find syntax; — amongst some other projects.


Chad (President) and Jon (CTO) co-authored a technical book titled Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails, which explores the ins and outs of the ActiveRecord ruby library. You can buy it today at Amazon.com.
