Team,

Is there a good book exclusively devoted to Networking in Ruby?

As I continue learning and struggling on my journey to become a Rubyst (is
it Rubist?), I noticed that my suffering could be lessen if I could put my
hands on a good Ruby book exclusively dedicated to networking.
Something like "Networking in Ruby" or "Ruby in a Networked World" or
something to that effect. That book would collect all the current knowledge
in network programming, as it relates to Ruby:


   1. Sockets - This would describe all type of socket programming.
   2. HTTP with all its variations.
   3. Threads as it relates to Inter-Process Communications.
   4. NET
   5. SSL
   6. SSH
   7. FTP
   8. EventMachine
   9. GServer
   10. DB (DB2, Oracle, PostGres, MySql) communications.
   11. ...and everything else I missed here, which I bet is more than what I
   listed here!


To be successful and useful the book must go beyond what's covered on RDoc.
It should have myriads of examples for people that learn by example, like I.
The book should also cover the major platforms *NIX, Mac, Wintel.
It should also cover networking on small devices such as cell phones, etc. I
think all the info is already loosely available and it is just matter of
putting things together.

I might be asking for too much!

Any comments!

Thanks you

Victor
