You should be able to do this without JavaScript by using streaming.

"Learn to Program" is a really nice book, but more addressed to
complete programming newbies. When you have some experience you
can browse through it rather quickly.

I do not know "The Well-Grounded Rubyist".

When you already have a basic knowledge and understanding then you
might have a look at "Eloquent Ruby" by Russ Olsen. IMO a great book
for getting a feeling for the language.

Marcus
