It’s been a while since I’ve run a blogging contest here but, just in time for the holidays, I’ve teamed up with Apress to run another one.
Earlier this month, they released Practical Rails Projects
So here’s the deal, you write a blog post about a project you’re working on. Load it up with cool how-to information. Make it accessible and exciting to someone new to Ruby, Rails, or the specific domain you’re working in. Then, post a link to it in the comments below. After Christmas, the crack On Ruby judges will pore over the entries and pick two winners (one Ruby and one Rails). Each winner will receive three Apress books of their choice (electronic or paper copies).
Enter as often as you like, this is a great chance to build up your library while you’re helping build an online library of great Ruby documentation.

My how-to is simple, but, it might help winning the book :)

This project is a practical one, and may be useful to others in the future.

I've written a Ruby tutorial on protecting your Ruby source code when delivering your applications to end users. It's entitled Protecting Your Ruby Source Code for End User Applications.
