Merb merged into Rails 3!
-Wednesday, December 24, 2008 By: Jon Kinney
Some very shocking and awesome news has recently hit the ruby community. Merb is being merged into Rails and will culminate with a release of rails sometime around February next year. Sporting the name Rails3, this marks only the 2nd time any 2 major web frameworks have put down the gloves and hugged it out. I'm excited to get some of the performance optimizations promised by the merb core, and am looking forward to a unified community.
This merge should push rails even closer to being the de-facto standard for building a web application. See posts at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/ and http://rubyonrails.org/merb, and http://loudthinking.com/posts/36-work-on-what-you-use-and-share-the-rest for more details.

A friend of mine in the web development community is releasing a book called "Web Design for Developers: A Programmer's Guide to Design Tools and Techniques". I was asked to do a tech review of the book and will be sharing my thoughts as well as some cool info presented in the book in a short series of upcoming blog posts. If you want to grab a beta copy of the book head over to my favorite publisher The Pragmatic Programmers.
