A current version of Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby as PDF?

Ruby

Hey guys

After I didn’t do much with Rails for a while, I wanted to restart my
motivation and dive deeper into the mysterious Ruby language. So I
thought about reading the highly praised “Why’s (Poignant) Guide to
Ruby”.

Now, I’d like to print it out, and for this, a PDF would be best. I’ve
done a search, but I’m not really sure, which PDF version is the best /
most current one, so maybe someone could point me to it?

I have found:

  1. http://www.thinkingaloud.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/wpgtr.pdf

http://www.kebabshopblues.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/RubyGuideBook.pdf

The first one has a lot more pages then the second, so I assume it is a
more current version. Still, the second one has a much nicer layout…
:slight_smile:

Anyone has an even better PDF version somewhere?

Thanks a lot
Josh

Note that the first one seems to be from “2012/03” (march of this year)
and the second one seems to be from “2006/09” (september of 2006).

Thanks guys! I just sent the link to a friend who’s working at a copy
shop. :slight_smile:

There’s also a mirror up on rubyinside[1], and plenty more listed on
wikipedia[2].
