I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/
I sent an inquiry to Prag Bookshelf but didn''t hear anything -- saw something online that led me to believe they were the publisher. PeepCode has several RSpec screencasts.

There are three I know about, one of which I''m working on (Prag Bookshelf). I can tell you the one I''m working on will be in beta sometime in the next few months, but I can''t really be any more specific than that right now. I can assure you that as things get more specific I''ll be blogging about it like crazy.

Aidy Lewis (who posts on here from time to time) and I were using RSpec at a .NET shop, using the story runner as a layer over Watir to drive ASP.NET websites, and I know Aidy is still carrying on with that work. I''d suggest including a chapter about how to drive non-ruby apps through RSpec might broaden the book''s appeal. cheers, Matt On 15 Aug 2008, at 11:58, David Chelimsky wrote:> On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 3:59 AM, Martin Bernd Schmeil > <lists at ruby-forum.com> wrote: >> Any news on this? > > We''ve enlisted the help of three more authors: Dan North, Bryan > Helmkamp and Zach Dennis.

There are also some success stories around using rspec story runner + jruby as a functional testing layer for Java apps. Someone blogged about it a while ago but I forget who.
