Folks:

Just a quick note to say Chris P.'s new book, Learn to Program, is  
now available and shipping.

If you want to get started in Ruby, or if you have a friend who just  
plain wants to know what it is that you do, I’d recommend it–it’s a  
light read that covers all the basics. The book’s home page is

Thanks
