Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book is a book about this fine language, but it is not a language book per se. It is perhaps best described as a mix between your favorite novel, your favorite Spanish textbook, and a Richard Simmons exercise video.
Book Description
It walks you through the very basics of working with Ruby, but by the end of it, you’ll no doubt be sweatin’ it to the oldies. It covers the base syntax of the language, including working with values, flow control, and object oriented programming, into some of the library functionality of Ruby, such as databases, web services, and string manipulation.
