That's unfortunate. Eloquent Ruby and POODR are two of my dearest Ruby books. Rails Anti-Patterns was another great book. If DHH and Co. don't want to recognize some of the great books you and others have churned out, at least take solace in the fact that many in the community appreciate your hard work.
- dpritchett 13y agoSame here. My three favorite Ruby books are POODR, Eloquent Ruby, and Hartl's tutorial.
- marcamillion 13y agoI LOOOOOOOVE Eloquent Ruby - Russ Olsen's writing style is so awesome. Design Patterns in Ruby is just as enjoyable. I have never heard of POODR before...but given that so many people are listing it in the same "top list" as Eloquent Ruby - I am definitely gonna get it. Hartl's tutorial was a bit much for me. I don't think when I was just learning Rails, to be thrown into TDD was wayy too much and made it much less enjoyable. I think if there was a "no-TDD" path, it would have been better....or maybe some way to explain the TDD aspect more clearly.
