From: Jin Dynasty Date: 2007-09-08T12:00:45+09:00 Subject: Re: Programming Ruby For Newbies Thank you mates. I tried the interactive ruby tutorial, and it was great. It introduced me to programmed. Then I read the Learn To Program the tutorial version by Chris Pine, and it gave me a pretty nice basic introduction about Ruby and programming. Then I saw the Peter Cooper's _Beginning Ruby_ preview in Apress, and I bought it from my local bookstore the other day. I am still reading it, and my Ruby skills are improving. I haven't given _why the lucky stiff's Poigant guide a shot, yet. But I will, once I finish reading _Beginning Ruby_. Thanks to: Phlip David Tim Hunter Mohit Sindhwani Jonathan Denni Thomas Wieczorek 7stud John Joyce rgossen (Rahlyn) Jeremy Woertink Lloyd Linklater (Haha, good one) Ayyappan K. Ari Brown Terry Poulin J旦rg W Mittag (I don't understand your dream, but hopefully I'll do in the future :-P) Luis Fernando Flores Oviedo unknown (Guest) (I'll try to attend the class, thanks for mentioning it) When I posted this, I didn't expect such prolonged and helpful mailing list (This is proof to your statement about this mailing list John Joyce :-) ). I really appreciate every single response. I hope that anyone with a future query like mine will refer to this topic as a compilation of helpful books.
