Only from skimming the first few pages of "Why's (poignant) guide to Ruby" I wanted to learn Ruby.
I didn't checked recently, but I found bizarre (maybe not the right word) how the author one day decided to disappear and nuke his Internet presence.

- opan 7y agoI love this guide! A friend showed it to me and I still quote lines from it often. I like the bit about "our own recliners", I tell my friend that someday him and I will have our own recliners. Another line I vaguely remember is when he's made a backpack for a bug out of a leaf. I think he puts a skittle and a battery in there and then says "that should last him". The writing style is great.
- vram22 7y agoYes, that was interesting. I read about it at the time (I was doing Ruby around then). Another one on the same lines was Mark Pilgrim (author of Dive into Python and similarly-named books for Python 3 and HTML 5, IIRC).
