Rubyists, please. Or Jewel Cutters if you are into obscure stuff. No snakes on a plane here. :P Anyway: If the book goes as much in depth as Huw promises, I certainly think it'll be useful for intermediates like you and me, too, especially if it diverges from the well trodden path we usually take. 'sides: It's free, so taking a look won't hurt, and only cost you time. ;) I certainly plan on doing that once I have the time. -- Phillip Gawlowski Twitter: twitter.com/cynicalryan Blog: http://justarubyist.blogspot.com Use the fundamental control flow constructs. ~ - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plaugher)
