I=92m pleased to announce the beta release of the Pragmatic Bookshelf=92s = =20 The RSpec Book: Behaviour Driven Development with RSpec, Cucumber and =20= Friends! It=92s been a long time coming, and there=92s still a lot of work to do = to =20 get to print. The beta release has 9 of the 22 chapters we have =20 planned. Most of what remains is almost done, but not quite ready to =20 release yet. As with all of the Pragmatic beta books, we=92ll do regular = =20 updates every few weeks as we wrap up the remaining chapters and =20 incorporate your feedback. And please do provide feedback. We want =20 this book to serve you well! There are six authors involved: Dave Astels, Zach Dennis, Aslak =20 Hellesoy, Bryan Helmkamp, Dan North, and me. I'm honored to be in such =20= good company here, with the guys who brought us BDD, to the developers =20= and maintainers of RSpec, Cucumber and Webrat. You can read more (and buy the book!) at = http://www.pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec-book On behalf of all the authors, I'd like to extend a special thank you =20 to all of you who have contributed to the software and the =20 conversation around RSpec, Cucumber, and BDD in general. RSpec would =20 be nothing without the community that has evolved around it, so thank =20= you, thank you, thank you. Again, THANK YOU! David Chelimsky
