I read all of those and would like to add two more:
1) Learn to Program, by Chris Pine. It's the best book I've read on learning to program in any language.
2) Practical Ruby Projects: Ideas for the Eclectic Programmer, by Topher Cyll. In a sense it wasn't "practical" at all. But it was a joyous eye-opener to all kinds of applications that turned me into a whirlwind of enthusiasm for months!
- aplummer 6y ago> Learn to Program, by Chris Pine My first programming book, 10 years ago in a few months I think. Great read.
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoMy favorite thing about it was how it made even trivially simple exercises fun by making the content humorous. At the beginning you really need that extra reward!
