Re: What is the bes Ruby's book for beginners?

There is a new book out co-authored by Matz, the man who created Ruby. 
It's called The Ruby Programming Language, and it is very, very good.

It's only a couple months old, but it is the most up to date (1.8 and 
the not-yet-released 1.9). Because of its age, it's not likely to be 
recommended by a ton of people here, but it was written to be _THE_ 
source on the Ruby language.

Check it out!
