Hello, all. There's a bunch of free on-line training for Javascript, CSS, etc., etc., but I haven't found anything of the sort for Ruby. I *assume* I'm just looking in the wrong places. But I've really enjoyed the little exposure I've already had -- Ruby seems to take the best of Perl and Python, blend them together, and add some magic fairy dust to boot. I've got a project coming up, and I'd love to do it in Ruby, but I definitely need a bit more of an intro, and a training course (or good documentation suggestions?) would be ideal.

Pretty new and those have been the most useful so far.

The first edition of the Pickaxe is a bit dated but still a good
source IMHO. You find it and other material here:
Kind regards

Also, I vote for "Eloquent Ruby" for when you feel a bit more secure with
the language. It's simply the best (intermediary with some advanced topics)
book I've read so far. If you know a bit about object oriented design,
"Design Pattern with Ruby" from the same author is a good one too.
Enjoy!
