Improve ruby skill

I've been into ruby on rails and did some stuff in ruby... but I feel that I
still have much to study. I've used to program in java(and still do) so
mostly my code is a "ruby java", I don't use the good stuff that ruby has to
offer(meta-programming, modules and so on).

As I can already develop stuff, I really feel that developing something is
the way to go. There's probably somebody here(i do hope lol) that have
been/or is in the same situation that I am so I would like some tips on what
to do(something practical).

Maybe some technical book wouldhelpt, but I'm not really interested in
buying a book that is about ruby(already got the pickaxe) but to improve my
programming in general.

Thanks in advance!

Ruby Best Practices is a very practical book on Ruby. Best part is
that it is free (you can buy one too, to support Gregory Brown's
work). A very good book about programming in general is Kernighan and
Pike's The Practice of Programming.

Metaprogramming Ruby is a good book for you.
