Sorry to say my friend, but the Ruby and Rails community out teaches the competition. Hands down! It's that simple. But, more importantly the founder of Rails has deliciously swirly hair. Can Django top deliciously swirly hair? I didn't think so: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=509808

"I suspect you'll have better luck sharing your thinking behind this book, how you went about writing out, how you're going about marketing it, what sort of results you're seeing, how that compares with what you're hoping, what you're doing to make it better, etc..." - I completely agree. Thanks for the feedback! I have plans to do each. That type of lessons learned and analysis will be invaluable to the community. And I wouldn't miss the chance to share the same.

But think about it. You put in money now with hopes of a decent ROI later. Only now that return ain't coming! And where's your $100,000? Spent. Vamos. Gone! Don't even think about getting a refund. Heck, you got a valuable education - right? You made a wise investment in your future - right?
