The book will go in early early access program soon. We're in the process of preparing that.<br>Although the part of the book that will be available won't be of much use if you're already familiar with Ruby and .NET because it's just satisfying the prerequisites. <br>
I will be posting stuff on my blog and the manning website next week on how to leverage various .NET orms from IronRuby.<br>That should give you an idea of doing interop with your own compiled classes etc. I don't deal with the .NET ORMS in the book itself but rather with ActiveRecord from Rails.<br>
<br>I'm sorry but IronRuby is quite a young project and writing a book does take time :)<br><br>What would be topics of particular interest to you?<br><br>my blog: <a href="http://flanders.co.nz/blog">http://flanders.co.nz/blog</a><br>

Hello,<br><br>I am just curious to know about the plans to make IronRuby more<br>reachable and just to inquire, whether there is any projects already<br>announced on StarterKits in IronRuby. I think, converting an existing<br>
<a href="http://asp.net" target="_blank">asp.net</a> starterKit to IronRuby would be a nice option. This way we can<br>learn more easily.<br><br>I know... there is a Book on the way for Ironruby by Manning Publishers,<br>
but it seems to be very far by now. No news about the progress so far.<br><br>What are the next as well as immediate plans by Microsoft IronRuby Team,<br>about teaching IronRuby from Scratch.<br><br>Since Ironruby is going to get No.1 .Net Language support like C# and<br>
Vb.Net, can i expect the same level of support.<br><br>Thanks<br><font color="#888888">--<br>Posted via <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ruby-forum.com/</a>.<br>_______________________________________________<br>
