finish reading why's (poignant) guide to ruby (read all 5 entries…)
Separately, thank you! 3 years ago

I seem to enjoy my programming language tutorials and fiction much better separate from each other. However, I do not mind the example code having a theme.

Never finished it, sadly

I got on this kick last winter to learn Ruby and found Why’s guide and started, but never got very far.

In fact, learning Ruby is what brought me to 43Things.com, but then I got involved with all the good people here, and sorta forgot about learning Ruby at all!

Maybe Ruby was just a means and not an end for me.

Is there a better book that might help a novice programmer like me learn Ruby? I’m mostly interested in Web apps.

I have been told Ruby things are not very well documented in general, but I haven’t checked that myself, so please do not consider that trustworthy information.

I decided I have currently no pressing need for Ruby myself, so I’ll stick to other languages for now.

I think O’Reilly has, or is working on, a Ruby on Rails book.

Thanks

I’ll keep an eye out for that O’Reilly book on Ruby on Rails.

I wouldn’t touch a book by the other O’Reilly, aka, “The Big Giant Head.”
