I just signed the contract for writing “Beginning Rails 3″ for Apress, which will be an update to Beginning Rails. I’m extremely excited to have the chance to work on a sequence for the book. The experience of writing Beginning Rails was rewarding and very challenging. I know there are some areas of the book that have to be improved, and that’s one of the reasons doing “Beginning Rails 3″ is so interesting, it gives me the chance to improve on my own work after having learnt a few lessons about print media. I and Jeffrey Hardy will get some help from Rida Al Barazi to help us make constant progress with the writing despite our busy schedules. We’ll be able to do a better job in lots of aspects, fix all remaining issues, use a different type of sample project, talk more about options beyond the default Rails stack.

I’ll try to blog about the experience of writing the book in some details. We’re going to put some extra work on the social aspect, in order to communicate better with our readers. We’ve created a Twitter account, will begin updating beginningrails.com soon, and are going to put all the code on github. Stay tuned.
