Sadly, the previous thread didn't mention any of the genuinely free
ruby ebooks (other than the pickaxe, of course). Here's a couple, for
example:

Add any more you know about - I'll collect the list and submit it to
ruby-doc.org

Free Study Notes on Ruby by Satish Talim (116 pgs. Updated 9th Feb. 2007)
http://rubylearning.com/download/down...

Summary wishlist for ruby books:

* practical workflow described for a ruby programming environment
(including debugging tools) ie. what tools to use and how? Please
don't give us the stdin piped example. ^D
* A bit more on glade for cross platform development and independent UI design.

Chapter 2: GUI Toolkits for Ruby
http://www.syngress.com/book_catalog/183_Ruby/...

This is a long but good free sample chapter from the _Ruby Developer's Guide_.

The section on "Using the Glade GUI Builder" is nice to see. I think
glade or glade-type tools can have a bit impact by keeping the GUI and
your application as interchangeable parts. It is also multi-platform.
