Subject: How to learn 'the ruby way'

Hi everybody,

I follow this list for some time but due to the volume I might have 
missed it, if this was answered before...

I have another problem: I'm programming for some time (~20 years, if you 
count the good old BASIC days), I've studied CS, I've used C/C++ (a 
bit), Shell (some), Perl (some), PHP (some), Java (a lot) and a lot of 
other languages. I think I understand most of the ruby language but I 
fear I'm still using it in the wrong way. What I'm looking for, is a way 
to learn 'the ruby way'. I'm thinking something like:

- Problem
- This is how you would have done it in another language
- Nice Ruby Solution

I have the pickaxe and the ruby on rails book and I'm reading both at 
the moment. I looked through the sample chapter of 'The Ruby Way' but it 
seemed more like a cookbook to me.

bye
Frank
