- #37: The total is 1574.  And if you include Rails Edge attendees, it's 1889.
- #38: is it possible to order one without the terrible new cover?   I'm not sure who that's supposed to attract -twelve year girls that are into boys and professional rails development? If I need to, I suppose I can photoshop the cover of Agile 1 and glue it on, so I'm not quite as embarrassed to have it on my bookshelf. Personally, I think the cover, with some pink unicorns and hearts, would be perfect to attract 12-year old girls.  Others get a distinctly "NAMBLA" vibe from the cover.  (North American Man Boy Love Association)
- #39: I just wanted to thank you for the new great cover for Agile Web Development with Rails .  I don't even program (I can barely understand how to use my mac), but when I saw those legs I just had to have it.   A plus plus!!   Well, long story short, a few of my friends got together to make a tribute.  Could you please pass this on to legs for me?

- #97: Wasn’t always that way. Early Eniac programmers were women. Grace Hopper wrote first compiler
- #110: If someone illustrated a talk about worker processes with pictures of black slaves, or priority queues with pictures of segregated bathroom doors, would you feel uneasy?
- #111: So tha MAYBE will take us from the 5% closer to the 25%
- #112: Using shared screens, and my iPad as a presentation controller, I walked the girls through a Keynote presentation about some of the of the basic concepts of Software Engineering. Then we fired up Ruby in IRB and I showed the girls how to work with numbers, variables, and simple control structures in Ruby. They had to sit three to a computer, but that also let them help one another out. They learned to use loops to print out silly things about me (for example, I had my computer print out “Mr. Thompson rocks!”, the girls felt that they absolutely must get their computer to print “Mr. Thompson most certainly does not rock!” 1000 times). There was an awful lot of giggling, but as the teacher I was proud to see them pick up the basic concepts and apply them to their own goals. My favorite exclamation was “Wow! I could use this to help me with my homework.” Learn to Program
