My first step.
So I have collected a small set of resources to begin my learning process. I have a contribute ruby learning site Ruby Learning. As well as 3 books purchased from Dave and /|ndy of the Pragmatic Programmers
- Programming Ruby
The Pickaxe Book by Dave Thomas with Chad Fowler and Andy Hunt - From Java to Ruby by Bruce Tate
- Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick
I'll try and write a review on these resources.
I know that there are a lot of Ruby resources. I am trying to start with a manageable amount of information to sort through.
I would like to post a short story about The Pragmatic Bookshelf, where I buy 80% of my Computer Books.
A few weeks ago I ordered 5 books from them. The books arrived in less than business days, I ordered on Monday and books arrived on Saturday. One of the books had a problem with the content. I contact them on Saturday evening, I had a response from Dave in minutes apologizing and telling me they would send it out on Monday. Much to my surprise they Express shipped the book and I received it on Wednesday. To me this is customer service at it's finest. I have been a customer of The Pragmatic Bookshelf for a couple of years, but they have gained a lifetime supporter, and customer.
Thanks
Dave and Andy, and the rest at The Pragmatic Bookshelf.
