- mechanical_fish 16y agoAnd I love _why's book to death, but trying to learn programming from Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby (with Cartoon Foxes) is like trying to learn to play guitar by listening to Jimi Hendrix records while stoned. If you're capable of learning to program from the Poignant Guide you certainly don't need an exhaustive guide on how to be a hacker. You're going to be able to figure it out on your own.
