It made me
Happy! 
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…

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

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…).
