From: Luis Fernando Flores Oviedo Date: 2007-09-06T01:46:40+09:00 Subject: Re: Programming Ruby For Newbies I am currently reading Peter Cooper's "Beginning Ruby From Novice to Professional" from appres. It has been a very funny experience and I have enjoyed so far, with good examples and simple programming projects that tie all together and help me make perfect sense of Ruby's ways. Check this book at http://www.rubyinside.com/my-book-beginning-ruby-published-today-437.html Hope it helps.

It's worth it. My personal dream book is "Learn to Pragmatically Program Ruby for Rails, Head First (with Foxes)" by Chris Pine, Dave Thomas, David Black, Kathy Sierra and _why the lucky stiff, but I doubt that will ever get written (-; jwm
