First off, here’s this week’s free RubyTapas episode, delayed thanks to hurricane preparations. It’s about Command-Query Separation (CQS), and how your unit tests may be letting you know that CQS is breaking down.

UPDATE: Along with RubyConf, the special deal referenced below is now at an end. Thanks to everyone who signed up!
Alas, I am not in Denver for this year’s RubyConf. But I like to think I’m there in spirit. And in that spirit, I’m offering a very special deal on RubyTapas! For the next three days, new subscribers can get RubyTapas for just $7.50/month. That’s a savings of $18/year over the usual $9/month rate.
You still get the full RubyTapas experience:
- Three focused, bite-sized screencasts a week of intermediate to advanced Ruby tools, idioms, and OO design guidance.
- Delivery by email or RSS (podcast) feed.
- Full transcripts and source code for every episode.
This isn’t an introductory rate; this is a chance to lock-in a discounted rate for as long as you remain a subscriber. But it’s only available while RubyConf is in session, and I’m not likely to offer a deal like this again anytime soon.
By the way, I know I’m not the only one offering special deals for RubyConf. For instance, I see that Noel Rappin is offering 25% off his excellent series of JavaScript books. If you are an an author or other content creator who is offering a special deal for RubyConf–or you know of someone who is–feel free to pipe up in the comments.
Happy hacking everyone!
I’d love to sign up, but Paypal doesn’t allow it for some obscure reason 🙁
Are you in Germany? German PayPal doesn’t allow recurring payments. But you can still sign up with a credit card.
Unfortunatly, PayPal does not allow recurring payments for german users 🙁
It’s true. However, they can still use a credit card (credit card is processed with Stripe)
