I would recommend you look into the Pragmatic Programmers "Learn to
Program" book. Its subtitle is "The Facets of Ruby Series".
Good book. I have it in both the PDF and hard copy, and refer to it
regularly. It has exercises throughout the chapters.

I highly recommend Why's Poignant guide, you can work through the
various concepts while you read about them. Be warned, it's really
quite strange. Check it out:

Thats a fantastic resource! I've never come across it before - I'm
always on the look out for some interesting and valid practice. My
imagination always freezes though so its good having things like this.
Will have to post that one on my blog.

I was considering this book, but was hesitant because I already know how
to program (at least, I like to think so!). Is this book aimed strictly
at people who know nothing about programming, or would it also be
appropriate for people who want to learn Ruby, but are otherwise fairly
experienced programmers?

It's a nice site, but I doubt that it's very challenging to write a program
that can solve the question, at least for most of the problems.
It's nice exercies for beginners though.

I think this is probably more appropriate for someone new to
programming. There are posts in this same thread that that mention
the Code Katas. I would check those out.
