Subject: Ruby Documentation Source (was free  pdf ebook)

Just as a point of curiosity for a very slow moving nube, is
http://www.ruby-doc.org/ a good site for finding online free (and not
infringed!) ruby info sources?  I'm a little wary of unrecommended sites
- I've been burned a few times.  Are their other sites?  I'm most
interested in Ruby in particular as a quasi-portable language and not as
much in Rails since I only do limited Web Dev and my understanding is
that Rails is primarily meant for that.  Also, I am very much interested
in the theory of how to develop with Ruby(best practices? I hate that
term) as opposed to necessarily straight pragmatic use.

Thanks,


Gary Williams

I found the Poignant Guide difficult to read.  I used to be a programmer
many moons ago, but only recently have tried to get back into the swing
of things.  I am used to reading technical manuals.  The way of
describing things in the Poignant Guide tended to confuse me, rather
than help.

But, I have enjoyed learning Ruby with the Pragmatic Programmer book, as
well as the on-line tutorials.
