I really like the unconventional writing style. It kind of reminds me of the
book "Head First Java" in the way that it really holds your interest. (If
you haven't seen "Head First Java", it might give you more ideas).

I do have one question. Who is your target audience?

When I first started reading it I thought, "this is something I could give
my 12 year old boy to learn programming". But as I got further, I realized
that you would already have to know how to program to understand a lot of
it.

Thanks for the breath of fresh ruby air,
Curt
