Some answers:

Books:

- Ruby in a Nutshell

- The "Pickaxe book" - Programming Ruby, 1st or preferably 2nd edition.

- The Ruby Way

- Ruby for Rails

- The little book of Ruby

Docs/info:

- the Internet: This newsgroup, Google, rubydoc.org, rubyforum.org

- ri, rdoc (ruby documentation-related commands)

You:-) :

- Read others' code. Write code. Repeat.

This is a great mailing list but maybe we need a FAQ. And yes I am willing
to help to compile one .
Anyway here you go
http://www.ruby-doc.org/ is a must to visit
however it is widely accepted that "Programming Ruby" is an excellent
introduction into Ruby going very far
Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide
N.B it is known as the Pick-axe

The standard documentation is always good to be handy for reference
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/

Did you have any problems with it? Ruby is the best language now :wink: unless
you ask on a different mailing list.
No ruby is widely accepted as a very concise and nice language.
