Puppet: System Administration Automated

On Ruby Interviews James Turnbull and Reviews the Puppet Book


Pat of On Ruby has posted a brief review of James Turnbull's Puppet book, Pulling the Strings with Puppet:

This book is filled with helpful code samples and pointers to external resources that look very useful. It's well written and easy to understand. As good a tool as Puppet looks to be, this looks like an equally good book to get you going. If you're doing configuration management for anything more than a box or two, run, don't walk, and pick up your copy of Pulling Strings with Puppet.

Pat also posted an interview with James:

Who gets the credit (Or is it blame?) for the title of your book, 'Pulling Strings with Puppet'

That'd be my editor and the marketing guys at Apress. Do you know how excited marketing people are when a product allows amusing alliteration and puns' :) But I like it -- it's both kitsch and catchy.

Looks like the book is really helping with the visibility of Puppet, which is great, and people seem to even like the book so far. :)
