I agree with this completely.  As much as I like the pickaxe, I have to
admit that I learned more about Ruby from the first half-dozen chapters of
R4R than from any other source.

If you already know an OO language, you''ll have to filter out all the
beginning OO stuff.  Once you get beyond that, it''s amazing.

I also can''t believe how many traps there are in Ruby for Java
developers.
I''m so glad I''m reading this (I''m not done yet)
before trying to finish the
RoR projects I''ve started.

Congratulations on a great book! I''ve been reading it over the last
couple of weeks through the MEAP. I''ve been "playing" with
Ruby since
last summer when I first encountered Rails. Your book added more to my
understanding of the Ruby language than any thing else I''ve read over
the past 6 months.
