Find out how long to read any book

How Long to Read (http://www.howlongtoreadthis.com) is a new site that has launched that provides reading time data for over 12 million books. You can use their innovative reading speed test to calculate the exact time to read any book on their site and also find books based on your interests and the time you want to spend reading them. Each page for a book has all the information for the book as well as information on how long to read each individual book. Whether you want to find new bestsellers or classics this site has all of them. Unfortunately it only has books but the ones it does have are almost every single one on Amazon.

One Month Rails Review

From the One Month Rails Wikipedia article:  David Heinemeier Hansson  extracted Ruby on Rails from his work on  Basecamp , a project management tool by  37signals  (now a  web application company). [4]  Hansson first released Rails as open source in July 2004, but did not share  commit  rights to the project until February 2005. [5]  In August 2006, the framework reached a milestone when  Apple  announced that it would ship Ruby on Rails with  Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" , [6]  which was released in October 2007. Rails version 2.3 was released on March 15, 2009 with major new developments in templates, engines,  Rack  and nested model forms. Templates enable the developer to generate a skeleton application with custom  gems  and configurations. Engines give developers the ability to reuse application pieces complete with routes, view paths and models. The Rack web server interface and Metal allow one to write optimized pieces of code that route around ActionController.
