Not free, though, and found after a quick Google query.

Umm. No.
No.
And may I repeat no.
Someone wrote that and decided not to release it for free. That's a
valid choice, and should be respected and supported. Your lack of
will, or funds, to get the legal version of the book don't matter.
Now all that aside, you can learn ruby very nicely from the pragmatic
programmers guide (available legally, for free, online), and the
poignent guide to ruby (also available, legally, for free).
Use google. It's your friend. It will find those guides for you, and
also find plenty of good examples.
And don't ask people to participate in theft like that.

1) this book is not available under a legitimate free download
2) this book is dated, and other books would make a better purchase.

I found the Poignant Guide difficult to read. I used to be a programmer
many moons ago, but only recently have tried to get back into the swing
of things. I am used to reading technical manuals. The way of
describing things in the Poignant Guide tended to confuse me, rather
than help.
But, I have enjoyed learning Ruby with the Pragmatic Programmer book, as

listen everybody :
yes i wrote this post in free PDF section. BUT
1. Did you hear before about " Mr. Neighborly's Humble Little Ruby Book.
Posted by Jeremy McAnally "
2. Did you hear this kinf of sentences in web sites before " pdf version
of this book free , buy for printed copy"
3. i though "sams" book like that. i never use FREE.
4. therefore everybody write here about "legality , stolen , thief...bla
bla "
is nothing for me.
5 i prefer you can wrote some RUBY codes instead of answering each other
with hundreds and hundreds sentences.
6. "" if you are not a part of solution , maybe you are part of
problem.""

I'd suggest not to use the term "theft" in this context because for
example in Germany to commit a theft ("Diebstahl") you need to take
away something physical (and movable) from someone else. This does
not mean that in Germany it is no crime to download the book but only
means that downloading it is a different kind of crime. I'd suggest
simply writing it "unethical and illegal acts like that".
Besides this I would suggest printed works because the have an
indisputable advantage compared to PDFs: You can read them without
displaying them on a computer. This means
a) You can read them where using a computer (not even a laptop) is
not a good idea.
b) You can have the book on your desktop and not covering valuable
room on you screen.
Suggestions for books:
- "Programming Ruby" von Dave Thomas et al.
- "Ruby Cookbook" by Carlson & Richardson
If you are into Rails perhaps also
- "Agile Web Development with Rails" by Hansson

I found that I could understand _why's peculiar stile after I already had somewhat adjusted to the Ruby culture in general.
The nice thing is, that there are many tutorials out there, that even I can understand. Something, I found distinctly lacking in the so-called enterprise-level languages like C/++ or Java.
But, I have enjoyed learning Ruby with the Pragmatic Programmer book, as well as the on-line tutorials.
And the Pickaxe is a very good reference, too. I tend to look into it first, before consulting *ri.

Rule of Open-Source Programming #20:
Open Code != Good Code
Just as a point of curiosity for a very slow moving nube, is
http://www.ruby-doc.org/ a good site for finding online free (and not
infringed!) ruby info sources? I'm a little wary of unrecommended sites
- I've been burned a few times. Are their other sites? I'm most
interested in Ruby in particular as a quasi-portable language and not as
much in Rails since I only do limited Web Dev and my understanding is
that Rails is primarily meant for that. Also, I am very much interested
in the theory of how to develop with Ruby(best practices? I hate that
term) as opposed to necessarily straight pragmatic use.
Thanks,
Gary Williams

It's not "theft" in the United States, either. It's "copyright
infringement". The law recognizes a distinct difference between "theft"
(depriving someone of something by taking it) and "infringement"
(violating a legally granted monopolistic privilege).
The book isn't closed on the subject of copyright infringement being
ethical, either. Let's just stick with calling it "infringement" or an
"illegal" act, and avoid the controversy -- unless you really want to
hear my views on a logically consistent system of ethics derived from
first principles as it relates to the concept of "intellectual
property".

The same kind of crime it is in the United States I imagine, civil copyright
infringement. This is getting way OT, but google for essays by Lawrence
Lessig for a lot more information on the differences between theft and
copyright infringement.

Actually, it's theft, too, just not in the shoplifting-sense.
The German term would be "Urheberrechtsverletzung" (copyright infringement): unlicensed, and not explicitly exempt by law (§ 53 UrhG), copying and distribution of a copyrighted work, and / or usage of such a work.
This is covered in § 106 UrhG (Urheberrechtsgesetz: Copyright law).

As a Ruby newbie, and just out of curiosity, how is ruby documentation
treated in the Ruby community? In Perl land, tools like Cpan and
search.cpan.org republish everything verbatium (or at least it seems
that way). Rubyforge, RAA, and Ruby-doc.org are great resources, but
there doesn't seem to be anything as comprehensive as search.cpan.org.
Is there anything out there like that for Ruby? I.e., a search engine
for ruby itself, gems, etc. with Rdocs and source code?

No, it can land you in a criminal court, additional to the civil branch of the justice system.

The fact that it's illegal does not make it "theft".

There's a search box at http://ruby-doc.org which does that. I'm not sure exactly what's searched by it, though.
