Many, and I'd highly recommend the book.  But Ruby's a young language, and
idioms go in and out of fashion, especially in the Rails community, which
(for better or worse) makes up a large part of the newest Ruby population.

The newsgroups and reading other people's code are the best two ways I've
found to learn idioms - that, and posting my own code here in a "how would
you do this better?" thread.
