A friend is a big Ruby fan... He and I made a video giving the current state of Ruby. I was surprised to find out that there are so many books coming out on Ruby and RoR.

It is definitely absurd but it is in earnest (with a stylistic nod to Giles B and the Archaeoptyrex presentation):

ps. FWIW, I am not 'Future Man' in the video ;-)

Thanks, Lasse... duly-noted. We thought about breaking out the first part as a separate 'trailer' as in film -- probably should have done so
