I hope this gets updated. I learned Ruby through looking at the Rails code and studying the internals a bit and it was a great way to understand what is, in my opinion, the best web framework by a country mile. Once you learn what the "magic" is and how to create it yourself and the tradeoffs involved, it becomes much less of a problem than it is for others who don't dig in to how Ruby/Rails work. I eventually moved to working in a proprietary environment where you can't do that, so I've had to rediscover learning from the manual instead of digging into the code and seeing how things really work.
