News You Can Bruise for 2005 November 11

I decided there was no point to keeping private my private outline for the Ruby Cookbook, so I put it online in color-coded form. Now you don't have to email me ahead of time and ask me what recipes are still available (though this would still be a good idea, so that I can mark recipes as reserved). Plus, you can get a visual feel for our progress on the book.

PS: the other day I wrote my first Mandelbrot set generator (for the recipe about complex numbers), which was really neat. Soon I'll have graduated to ASCII art drawings of Mr. Spock.
