+title: Effective Testing with RSpec 3 has been released!
+author: Myron Marston
+---
+
+As we [announced back in February](/blog/2017/02/now-in-beta-effective-testing-with-rspec-3/),
+Ian Dees and I have written a new book for the Pragmatic Bookshelf
+about RSpec, entitled _Effective Testing with RSpec 3: Build Ruby Apps with Confidence_.
+We're happy to announce that the book is out of beta and is now shipping from
+[PragProg](https://pragprog.com/book/rspec3/effective-testing-with-rspec-3) and
+[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Testing-RSpec-Build-Confidence/dp/1680501984/).
+
+![The book has shipped!](/images/blog/physical-book.jpg "Our book has shipped!")
+
+We put a ton of work over the last three years into this project, distilling our
+combined 20 years of testing experience into a book that explains how to do
+TDD/BDD well using RSpec. We believe that anyone who wants to learn RSpec or
+that regularly uses RSpec will benefit from the book. The early reviews from
+our readers have been quite positive. Avdi Grimm, author of _Confident Ruby_ and
+_Exceptional Ruby_ and Head Chef of [RubyTapas](https://www.rubytapas.com/), has this
+to say about the book:
+
+> Ruby embraces the old Lisp idea that you should “build up a language” to address your problem,
+> and RSpec carries this approach into the world of testing. But RSpec is a big toolbox, and in
+> order to harness its full power you need a guide. This is that guide: the bridge you need to
+> take you from writing tests, to expressing your design requirements in code.
+
+If you want to learn more about the book, check out this video Ian put together about it:
