I just have to point out:

Had I been given pretty much any other link first, I would have learned Ruby
months earlier.  That one creeped me out with how cultish it was, and
furthermore, didn't actually TELL me anything about the language for a
few pages.  I found Pickaxe much more approachable.

I do not like to start people with a programming language guide which
reads like an old Dr. Pepper commercial.
