There''s also "The Ruby Programming Language", by David Flanagan. If you want to learn Ruby in a Rails-oriented way (which I suspect you do, since you posted to this list :-) there''s "Ruby for Rails", by me. I should add that I don''t deliberately restrict my recommendations to people named David. It just seems to work out that way. David -- Rails training from David A.

Fred, what''s the matter with you? about hundreds maybe thousands pirate websites which are providing pirate or ''stolen'' eBooks, (have you complained about it to them? why you always yelling to me?). KNOWLEDGE is rights for everybody. Many poor people dont have money to buy eBook, what''s wrong if we help them? I believe you were learning ruby from pirate ebook too. :) Peace and Cheer :) Reinhart -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you want to share "stolen" ebooks, do, I''m not going to say anything agains it, but please keep this kind of thing **outside** this list!

Yes they are, and by distributing them without the authors consent you''re hurting the Ruby/Rails ecosystem. There is loads and loads of free knowledge out there, so drop the pretentious Robin Hood attire. If you want to help the poor, create your own book and put it under GNU FDL, CC, PD or whatever you desire. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Nice morals asshole. This community is built by some great people that give in different ways - some commercially, some for free, and some combos of both (great folk like David Black). Those that take from the good of others without paying in some way (with $$, without giving back by helping others) are vampires. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
