From: Jayson Williams Date: 2007-10-20T12:29:24+09:00 Subject: Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby (is this guy ok?) Recently, I was looking for a Ruby guide that could help my son catch on to Ruby. I have seen several mentions an Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby, so I decided to read through it to see if it was something my son could use. By the time I was about 1/4 through it, I became very concerned about the writer. Is this guy ok? Bizzar just scratches the surface. The Van Gogh of Ruby programmers would be a fair assessment. This book reads like a twisted novel, where you almost by accident, learn a bit of Ruby. Nevertheless, a very engaging read. The code examples are very clear and understandable, and the style keeps you turning pages to see what madness awaits. Good job Mr. Why!
