Special Edition – RailsConf 2009 Report!

This concise issue of Rails Magazine covers RailsConf 2009 – in-depth commentary, photography, pointers to related resources and an interview section.

If you did not attend RailsConf, this is one of the best ways to get up to speed on the conference, what’s planned for Rails 3 and related information.

For those who attended, this should provide a good recap and insights by presenting different perspectives.

As usual, we will provide this issue as a free pdf download in maximum two weeks. The print edition is already available and can be purchased through MagCloud for $3.

Please check back our site for our next regular edition – coming soon!

After working with Olimpiu for almost a month, I got an email from him that I have been inducted into the Rails Magazine Core team. What a honor. I am looking forward to contributing to the nice cause.

Olimpiu Metiu, the Chief Editor of Rails Magazine, has released the first issue of Rails Magazine. You can order the first issue from the Rails Magazine site for $USD 8 + postage. The online PDF edition will be released for free very soon. The Rails Magazine team consists of some very talented people.

I contacted Olimpiu and offered my help. I am glad to say that he agreed and I am working to help him with some development tasks for Rails Magazine. I am really excited to be part of a Rails Magazine. This will enable me to give back to the Ruby on Rails community.

Update: The digital PDF version of the first issue in PDF is now available for free.
