I know that 650+ page programming books sometimes feel like relics from a distant past, but sometimes a big book can provide context in a way that nothing else can.

I really hope I've been able to make that work for all the existing Ruby developers out there and all the new Ruby developers coming to join us…

@noelrap I've always enjoyed your books and writing style. I can't wait for it to be out of beta!

I really *like* bigger books with more depth. Sometimes "bigger" just means a lot of boilerplate & excessive coverage of foundational material, though. Nothing's worse than picking up a book with a title like "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About X" and find it's got maybe 50 pages of stuff you don't already know.

Your ToC tells me that won't be the case here. Really looking forward to it!
