Eloquent Ruby[1] by Russ Olsen If you are an experienced programmer coming to Ruby this is definitely the place to start. Especially if you are a Java or .NET EE-indoctrinated programmer. The people who maintain your code after you will be thankful that you read this and wrote idiomatic Ruby. If you just want to learn Ruby or read an excellent technical book as mind food this book is also a great choice. (Code by Petzold is actually my favorite technical book, but its already been picked.) [1] http://eloquentruby.com/ http://eloquentruby.com/
