Subject: Re: The Ruby Way

I bought it a couple of days ago.  I've been working my way through it 
and like it very much.  I started with the pickaxe book and really 
liked that (I still use it on a daily basis).  Then I bought Teach 
Yourself Ruby in 21 Days, which is also a very good book.  The Ruby Way 
is more advanced than Teach Yourself Ruby and very different from the 
pickaxe book (you can learn from both).  Unfortunately, I was 
disappointed with the book Making Use of Ruby, which I cannot recommend.
