Greetings Everyone, I have tried looking throughout the forum but didn’t find the answer I was looking for. I tried looking online but still was able to find anything solid. Does any have any good recommendations for learning Ruby via screencasts? I know there is a ton of books out there but videos are so much nicer and it will give me something to do on the way to work. Cheers ---

If you have a device on which you can watch videos on the way to work, are you sure it can’t be subverted to run Ruby itself? 🙂 ---

Thank you Lasitha. I have been wondering the net for most of the night. I did find a few nice ones on [showmedo.com](http://showmedo.com) and I was at the [pragprog.com](http://pragprog.com) website as well. I can’t wait for the new book to come out for Ruby 1.9.1 ---

Google found this: [http://www.rubyplus.org/](http://www.rubyplus.org/) which seems to have some intro stuff in the archives. Prag Dave has an excellent series on metaprogramming which is not really intro material but well worth getting to eventually. > **[Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers](https://pragprog.com)** > > We improve the lives of professional developers.
