How to learn Ruby
It made me
A better programmer.
 "Ruby is great!"
How I did it: I learned ruby a few years ago, around version 1.6.0. I just downloaded the interpreter, downloaded the 'pick axe book', and started hacking. I Think the first coherent piece of software I wrote in ruby was an IRC bot that said goofy things whenever people tripped certain triggers. Lessons & tips:

How I did it: I scoured the internet for all the free resources I could find. Though many I found were good, none were quite what I needed to say I had "learned" the language. I decided to buy a book and after reading, I felt much more confidant in my abilities.I wrote a few games with the Gosu and Rubygame libraries and am still doing so now Read how I did it…

Once you are experienced as a programmer, new languages come almost automatically. Just read a strip of code and spend a few hours reading through the documentation and you will be ready to rock! Albeit not to master.
Ruby is my favorite prototyping language.
My tip: 1. choose a language and learn to program, 2. read the pragmatic programming book.

I am currently reading about the meta-programming parts of ruby, which are really interesting.
So, I’m 80% done with the book…
I highly recommend this book to anyone. It gives clear,(well somewhat) concise methods of reasoning and it does it in a funny way that keeps you reading. Best of all it’s free you can find it here http://poignantguide.net

Should I buy a book?
6 months ago
I want to learn Ruby to create such an optical disc authoring software like K3b! I’m just learning Ruby by online books/tutorials like Why’s (poignant) Guide to Ruby, Learn to Program, Pickaxe, etc. Should I buy a book? If yes which book? Ruby for Rails? Learn to Program?

Learn to be a great Ruby programmer.
Know every single nook and cranny of the language. Not just learn the language but breath it in my server automation environments.

I bought two books about ruby: one pocket reference (for my impatient self) and “The Ruby Programming Language”. The second book is written by Matz himself and David Flanagan and has illustrations by why the lucky stiff. Of course I couldn’t resist a book made by the stars :-)
I enjoy reading it to get a solid understanding of the underlying concepts. Meanwhile I use ruby to make some small scripts for small tasks (like adding taxes to a price, no rocket science…).
