Poignant is fun. That's all.
Probably the best book for really learning Ruby is The Ruby Way by Hal Fulton. Hal clearly gets Ruby.
The book is thorough (although possibly a little out of date now), introduces a lot of idiomatic Ruby, and has just the right amount of geeky inside jokes.
- vesan 18y agoThere is a second edition of The Ruby Way released last year(2008).
- Locke 18y agoYes, I meant mainly that it doesn't cover Ruby 1.9 or some newer libraries. While the Ruby landscape has changed a little since it came out, The Ruby Way still covers the core language and many still relevant libraries quite well.
