Plus, there have been plenty of links about the transition to Rails 3, and this looks like it could be a handy ebook, especially if it goes more in depth than the release notes and basic migration guide.
Do you mean paid content or services shouldn't be posted here ?
oh and additionnaly viagra is usefull to some people reading HN... do you mean it is ok to advertuze viagra in HN ? (i can do cheap dialectic too :)
more seriously, this 'news' is clearly a spam and lets please avoid spam on HN.
I think there is nothing wrong with trying to sell something that you've worked hard on; isn't that what most of us are doing here?
That said, I didn't vote this up and don't think I would buy this book.
i wont talk on this thread again. no hard feeling here, just trying to avoid more spamming in the future. have fun
There was no argument or dialectic: I was just giving my opinion and asking a question (ie not trying to convince you), because I was curious to know why you had this other opinion.
Do you really think HN would vote up a viagra spam blog?
He created something of interest to the community and charges for it. I love free content but I still think it's great that he created something of value and is asking for money. What's wrong with that?
The only thing better would be if he followed up with a post about how it went and what he learned.
It does seem like spam to me. I don't see a conceptual difference with the Viagra emails i frequently receive.
