pre-newbie question

I want to add Sketchup features, a product that has an API only for
Ruby, so I've decided that Ruby is the right choice. I've Googled up
lists of tutorials, tried a few. Any recommendations? (I'm an
experienced OO programmer.)

Thanks in advance.

What is the question?

Yes, Ruby and Sketchup would be a blast; I can't wait to try it myself.

Here's some Ruby to keep you interested:

The best learning resource sort of depends on where you are coming
from and your programming style. I'm sort of a resource manual type
of person instead of a tutorial person, for example.

I always preferred Try Ruby as the quickest way to jump in:

http://tryruby...

Of course, it's a little bit outdated, especially the download links it
has at the end. But it's still absolutely genius.

After that, I couldn't say. Someone else will probably suggest a book,
and that's good, too. I would say, Google is your friend -- it doesn't
take any longer to do this

than it does to ask us.

Thanks! (Make that "hobix", Google tells me.)

Google lacks the "don't just list them, rank them by quality" feature.
