2. “Agile Web Development with Rails” by Dave Thomas (Computer Languages)
3. “Ubuntu Hacks” by Jonathan Oxer (Unix)

This includes both online and in-store purchases. We’re lucky at PLANET ARGON as we’re only about 4 blocks from their technical book store. ;-)

You’ll also notice that the Ruby books are selling more than the Perl books… Tim O’Reilly “blogged about this the other day.

Congrats on hitting #1 Lucas!
