From: John Joyce Date: 2007-08-27T14:39:53+09:00 Subject: Ruby Pocket Reference I picked up the new OREILLY book Ruby Pocket Reference today, by Michael Fitzgerald. I've got to say, it keeps with the high quality of almost every Ruby / Rails book out there! A nice little tomb that fits in your back pocket and actually has things pretty well organized and answers those little things that you might forget. It even has nice little glossary at the end. I highly recommend this little friend for Ruby newbies! (and Rails people, too!) Sometimes it's easier and more convenient to use a little book like this than 'ri' for everything. Just can't understand why they put a giraffe on this one? Perl's camel has become a big part of it's image, but there just hasn't yet been an animal on a Ruby book that made sense.
