I have "The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide", "Ruby in a Nutshell" and "Ruby
Developers Guide."  I didn't realize "The Ruby Way" was a book...I heard it
referred to, but I thought it was just a term people were using
tongue-in-cheek.  I have absorbed a lot about Ruby in a short period of
time, but I am still experiencing some gaps in the details...I'm big on the
details and knowing how and why every little bit of something works.  I'll
go and check out the book I'm missing.
