What do people think of “The Ruby Way”?
Would that be a good book to buy?
Is there a book homepage? I can’t find it in Google.

After all excited opinions regarding this book, that I agree with, I’d
notify that this book is available on saffari also. O'Reilly Media - Technology and Business Training

Now that is interesting. I certainly didn’t
know about that. Hopefully that will have a
positive effect on royalties – Guy H, are you
reading this?
FWIW, it’s now in Japanese also – I just got my
copy today.
But I’ll tell you about that tomorrow.

I hadn’t known about this before, but apparently O’Reilly licensed the
book and, if you subscribe to Saffari, you can read the whole book on
line.

Just to add a little more to that.
Safari is used by a number of publishers and sites. You can also access
safari via informit (safari.informit.com) and it has excactly the same
content.
Essentially its a bunch of publishers and someone else that decided that
it was a good idea to “rent” books on a monthly basis. I’ve used it a
little and its quite good, quite useful if you are trying to find
something quickly.
I will admit now, that I created a copy of the ruby way as a word doc
(copy and pasted the pages from the website) last week. Don’t worry Hal
you haven’t lost out on a sale, I will be buying the book in the new
year once my finances have recovered from Xmas.

You won’t, anyway; Safari subscriptions are treated as sales for royalties
purposes.
Really? Cool, do you know if its one of a month by month basis i.e. the
longer I keep it on my “bookshelf” the longer he gets a royalty fee or
is it only when I first put the book on?
