Programming Cocoa with Ruby: Create Compelling Mac Apps Using RubyCocoa
Introduction:
This is a book for the Ruby programmer who’s never written a Mac app before. Through this hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn all about the Cocoa framework for programming on Mac OS X. Join the author’s journey as this experienced Ruby programmer delves into the Cocoa framework right from the beginning, answering the same questions and solving the same problems that you’ll face.
Together you’ll build a single application that threads throughout the book, and it’s not a toy. You’ll cover topics that may not be the flashiest parts of Cocoa, but they’re ones you’ll need to know to create robust, feature-rich applications for yourself. And you’ll learn more than just Cocoa and RubyCocoa, you’ll get first-hand effective agile development practices. You’ll see test-first development of user-interface code, little domain-specific languages that take advantage of Ruby features, and other Rubyish tricks.
At the end of the book, you’ll be ready to write a real Mac OS X application that can be distributed to real users.

Zend Framework 1.9发布
感觉现在Zend Framework 更新了很快，可能和日益受到关注有关。不知不觉中已经发布到了1.9版本。
更新的内容可以查看：http://devzone.zend.com/article/4906-Zend-Framework-1.9.0-Released
我对Zend_Test_PHPUnit_Db和Zend_Queue比较感兴趣，特别是Zend_Queue的支持，特别是加入了对MemcacheQ的原生支持。
有空学习一下这些新内容，感觉Zend Framework在逐渐缩短和RoR之间的差距。在新版本发布之际，更新一下Zend Framework的帮助chm.
