Some answers:

Books:

  • Ruby in a Nutshell

  • The “Pickaxe book” - Programming Ruby, 1st or preferably 2nd edition.

  • The Ruby Way

  • Ruby for Rails

  • The little book of Ruby

Docs/info:

You:-) :

  • Read others’ code. Write code. Repeat.

This is a great mailing list but maybe we need a FAQ. And yes I am
willing
to help to compile one .
Anyway here you go
http://www.ruby-doc.org/ is a must to visit
however it is widely accepted that “Programming Ruby” is an excellent
introduction into Ruby going very far
Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide
N.B it is known as the Pick-axe

The standard documentation is always good to be handy for reference
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/

Did you have any problems with it? Ruby is the best language now :wink:
unless
you ask on a different mailing list.
No ruby is widely accepted as a very concise and nice language.
