Hey Danny!
Welcome to the community. I recommend the following books:
1.* Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby* by Sandi Metz
2. *Confident Ruby* by Avdi Grimm
3. *Programming Ruby* by Dave Thomas, Chad Fowler, and Andy Hunt
I'm not sure whether you're also interest in Rails but if so I can make a
few recommendations too.
Cheers

Hi,
Maybe you can try to learn Ruby and Ruby on Rials if you follow this
courses on the coursera.org
https://www.coursera.org/specializations/ruby-on-rails
On this site you have a lot of video tutorials, practical tasks and good
community.
Best regards,
Samir

Most of my programming experience so far has been through tutorials online
and this book I have called "Beginning Ruby" that walks you through certain
exercises. Some experience has been in industry. I am in the beginning
stages of building a web application that collects surveys but very much
learning as I go - finding YouTube and StackOverflow very helpful!
I am familiar with "object orientation" to the extent when people say
"everything is an object" in Ruby, I have a vague sense of what they are
talking about.
Also thanks guys for the reading / course recommendations! I'll check them
out

Hey Danny,
You should look up 'why' s poignant guide'. It is free and has historical
significance in ruby.
Also, i've been working on a tutorial. It's still just a rough draft, but
if you could check it out and send me your thoughts, then I would be
grateful. Here is the link:

Why's guide kept me away from Ruby for a couple years. "Programming Ruby"
by Thomas. Try the used books option on Amazon, they can be pretty cheap
and I'm enjoying my copy. My personal goal is to develop base skills in the
various chapters. There are lots of other good Ruby books to jump into
after you get the basics.

I can see how Why's Poignant Guide could scare someone away, but if you
don't take it too seriously, then you can definitely learn a lot. It's a
fun, albeit hectic, alternative to more technical and dull tutorials.
Anyway, my learning process was, in chronological order:
1. Learn Ruby The Hard Way: Learn Ruby the Hard Way - Read for Free
2. Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby: http://poignant.guide/
3. The Book of Ruby: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/
ruby-programming/The-Book-Of-Ruby.html (also comes free with Ruby
installment)
After reading those books I worked on a bunch of exercises on Project Euler
(https://projecteuler.net/\), ,Rosalind (http://rosalind.info/
problems/locations/), and Ruby Koans (http://rubykoans.com/\).
The real learning happened during the exercises. Both Rosalind and Euler
provide the code from others who have successfully answered the exercises.
Reading and understanding other people's code is incredibly important.
