Andrew Hunt and David Thomas also have a book called The Pragmatic 
Programmer.  The book discusses programming pragmatically in a general 
sense and does not discuss Ruby.  It is an excellent book that has made 
me a much better programmer.  If you have the cash I really do recommend 
that you pick it up.
