Ruby Cookbook

Is there a resource or book similar to O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series of
books? I learn best with this type of book. Real world examples with
short and sweet despcriptions of what they are. Many thanks in advance.

Try Rails Recipes, from the Pragmatic Programmers. I'm reading it, and
it's quite up to the quality of the O'reilly cookbooks. It also covers
Rails 1.1 features, so it's a bit more up-to-date than the Agile Ruby
on Rails book.

It's still a beta book, though, so it's not quite finished yet, but
most of the recipes are complete. I'd highly recommend it.

You can find it at http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/tit....

It's due out this July, I think you can get a draft through the 'rough
cuts' program. See:

In the meantime, this has a similar style (but may be slightly outdated by
now):

That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks everyone!

_ "The Ruby Way" seems to fit that description pretty well,
although it doesn't cover many of the newer modules.

Amazon says 2nd edition Ruby Way will be out June 21 (can't wait!), and
the Oreilly Ruby Cookbook is out in pretty much final form (as I
understand it) as a PDF Rough Cut now.
