About.com became the first, that I know about, to review my book, “Distributed Programming with Ruby”. What a great first review to have as well. They rated the book 5 out of 5 stars! The review can be found here.

“Anyone working with distributed programming in Ruby will want this book.”

The only downside they saw in the book, was that they wanted it to be longer! I have to save something for the 2nd edition, don’t I?

If you haven’t purchased yours yet, I encourage you to do so. It’s on sale at Amazon.com right now.

If you have reviewed the book, or know of a review of the book, please pass it along.

The release of Mack 0.7.0 was featured as the lead story this week in the railsenvy.com podcast. They guys had great things to say about Mack, have a listen:

As always, if you don’t subscribe to the podcast, you definitely should. It’s one of the best ones around.

If you’re not familiar with the podcast, I highly recommend checking it out. It’s a very informative, and highly entertaining podcast about all things Ruby.

Good work guys, keep it up!
