Hello, all. There’s a bunch of free on-line training for Javascript,
CSS, etc., etc., but I haven’t found anything of the sort for Ruby. I assume I’m just looking in the wrong places. But I’ve really enjoyed
the little exposure I’ve already had – Ruby seems to take the best of
Perl and Python, blend them together, and add some magic fairy dust to
boot. I’ve got a project coming up, and I’d love to do it in Ruby, but
I definitely need a bit more of an intro, and a training course (or good
documentation suggestions?) would be ideal.
And don’t forget about the Ruby Documentation. For example:
You can do a LOT with these three.
Also, I vote for “Eloquent Ruby” for when you feel a bit more secure
with
the language. It’s simply the best (intermediary with some advanced
topics)
book I’ve read so far. If you know a bit about object oriented design,
“Design Pattern with Ruby” from the same author is a good one too.
Enjoy!

The first edition of the Pickaxe is a bit dated but still a good
source IMHO. You find it and other material here:
