As ruby popularity growing, more and more newbie programmer need a way
to improve their ruby ability effectively. Reading examplar code should
be a good way to achieve that goal. Are there somebody collecting and
cleansing ruby code idioms ? Or somebody is writing a book like
effective C++ or effective Java?
I have programmed with Ruby for half a year , and I have read Pickaxe,
Agile web development with Rails , Ruby developer’s guide, the Ruby way
etc. But there isn’t a book can fill the gap.
I am eagerly looking forward to such a book full of Ruby code idioms
which can also acts as a style guideline.

I've found one of the most time-consuming things about learning a new
language is getting up to speed with idiomatic usage: things like var ||=
"default value" and the like.
It'd be great to have annotated examples of such idioms.

wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz && tar xvfz ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz && find ruby-1.8.4/lib/
it's the best way.

I really think we need a “effective Ruby “ now.

I'm pretty much at that stage myself. I've started collecting a few templates at
I recently sussed out how to use modules (posted on it
yesterday). I plan to add to that to the site.
Right now, I'm in the market for a good example of an
RDOC-ready page that I can reduce to a template....
Definitely work your way through the code in the Ruby
Quiz<http://www.rubyquiz.com/>and read code whenever possible,
Googling whatever looks unusual. Something
else, if possible, is to run short snippets of code by more experienced
Ruby-ites when you're unsure of it's quality.

Forgive me for the shameless self-promotion, but if you are coming to Ruby from Rails, perhaps my little slide presentation
might also be helpful. I am in the process of turning this into a slightly expanded ebook of 30 pages for Addison-Wesley as well, available this month. Okay, enough of the self-promotion.
David Black has also written a book on Ruby for Rails that is worth checking out.

Yes, that's the kind of thing. It is useful but it's too few and
imcomplete.
Is there somebody can collect more and make it more complete and
systematic?
