Relevant enough question IMHO, despite the downvotes. Chris Pine's book Learn to Program has a good reputation, and it tackles both of your goals: learning to program, and learning Ruby. The second edition is set to be released in five days. http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Program-Pragmatic-Programmers-Chris/dp/0976694042 http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Program-Pragmatic-Programmers-Ch... http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

> The second edition is set to be released in five days. I think you misunderstood the Amazon site. The book's second edition was released in 2009. (I have a hard copy here that I confirmed with.) And the PragProg site doesn't say anything about an upcoming 3rd edition. I think you misunderstood this Amazon note: "In stock on November 6, 2011." That just means they are out of stock and expect to get more by November 6th.

  You're correct. I saw "in stock ..." and assumed the second edition was brand new.
