“Create a full set of rock-solid instructions and tutorials so that

learning, and develop the confidence to take the next step of diving
in to learn more about Hobo, Rails and the elegant and powerful object-
oriented language behind these frameworks – Ruby.”

Toward that end we’ve decided to trim out the more “reference-oriented” Chapter “Hobo Under the Hood” as a separate publication. This makes the intro book more coherent and compact.
