Which Ruby book to read?

Human Dunnil

3/10/2007 10:22:00 PM

Hello,

I'm going to re-read a book (just one book at the moment!) about Ruby
to sharpen me knowledge, what do you guys recommend?

Programming Ruby (PragProg)
Ruby for Rails (Manning)
The Ruby Way (Addison Wesley)

Or another book?!?

I know Ruby, but seems I forgot some advanced details so I like to
read a Ruby book again.

Which one guys?

Thanks a lot,
- Dunnil

Well ... the broadest of the three in terms of useful knowledge you may
not have is the second edition of "The Ruby Way". So that's the way I'd
go. It's also the newest of the three, so it has the benefit of some
things the other two don't. "The Ruby Way, 2nd Edition" has a couple of
other things going for it:

1. A fairly complete comparison of the major Ruby GUIs. That's got to be
the most frequently-asked question here.
2. About the only usable documentation on web app frameworks *other*
than Rails, like Nitro.
3. As many "recipes" and "snippets" as most of the "cookbooks" have.

Sure thing, Wrong Ray, we can enter the big tango contest at the county
fair. I can make birdhouses. copy Morse at 40+ wpm, beat Watson at
Jeopardy! and, unlike you, I can read without moving my lips.

Either you follow the Law of Moses or you don't.

Copy Morse at 40 wpm?

Is there any other claim that you might make that points the obsolescence of
your thinking in the 21st Century?

Perhaps you think incandescent lamps are an up and coming technology
