I was wondering if there are any Ruby tutorials with excercises at the
end of the chapters or sections which could be recommended

Thanks,

Scott Taylor

Also, several in here, but not all have exercises

I highly recommend Why's Poignant guide, you can work through the
various concepts while you read about them. Be warned, it's really
quite strange. Check it out:

Thats a fantastic resource! I've never come across it before - I'm
always on the look out for some interesting and valid practice. My
imagination always freezes though so its good having things like this.
Will have to post that one on my blog.

I was considering this book, but was hesitant because I already know how
to program (at least, I like to think so!). Is this book aimed strictly
at people who know nothing about programming, or would it also be
appropriate for people who want to learn Ruby, but are otherwise fairly
experienced programmers?

C-based, but still good.

There are posts in this same thread that that mentionthe Code Katas. I would check those out.> --> Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com...
