I'd say so. IMHO that's kind of the most advanced Ruby book currently
out there - in terms of the topics covered.
Note that, although otherwise stated in the book (!?!), there's no CD
coming with it - but you can download it from the Syngress web site (as
well as a PDF version of the book, all you need is some kind of
registration key from the inside of the book).


Now that I'm at it:
Dave & Andy's "Programming Ruby" is available in German in the book
stores (well, at lest in two book stores) in Germany. I'm not going to
buy it anyway (I already own the English original) - sorry Dave & Andy,
but I not likely to buy a third book of you, unless you write another
one. ;-)

Have a nice weekend!
