Subject: Re: Good book for getting started with Ruby?

"Beginning Ruby" by Peter Cooper.  It has a section on Rails, but it is 
dated as Rails spits out new versions every day.


1) Programming Ruby sucks--but it has the docs in the back of the book, 
so it is pretty much a mandatory first ruby book.

2) The Ruby Way is too advanced for a beginner, and it is pretty boring 
reading at that.  It's more of a recipe book.

Perhaps the best ruby book I've read is "The Well-Grounded Rubyist", but 
it is a little more advanced than "Beginning Ruby".  But you do have 
programming experience, so if you feel up to the challenge, go for it.
