I've made enough programming errors that I can forgive a few trifling
problems with the book.  I've only read the first few pages, but the
typos I've found have been pretty trivial.  The book is easy to read
and concise and I'm reading it in conjunction with 'Programming Ruby'.

I agree with Jack, the language is great, it's very clear and clean
and a lot less tortuous than some other languages.
