Checking out the excerpt this looks like good stuff. It's nice the see
the detailed level of coverage QtRuby is getting here. So far I have
done Ruby GUI projects using Qt and Tk and found the toughest part of
things finding in depth documentation on all the object methods and
properties available. There are a few tutorials around the Internet but
a comprehensive textbook-like rundown geared for Ruby was what I was
looking for. This PDF book looks like a nice addition to my collection.
