4 stars Not for beginners

This book was purchased for a class in the digital humanities. The book was very helpful when writing programs for the class, but as a beginner, I would have been lost using the book alone! Sometimes it's written in such dense tech-speak that us non-techies in the class needed a translator. By the end of the class, I found this book invaluable and it earned a spot on my "keeper" bookshelf.

5 stars The holly bible of Ruby 1.9

The definitive guide to Ruby 1.9. There isn't another resource to looking for. It isn't neccesary..

I have had this book in PDF in beta. I have a copy of the Second Edition but I still wanted this newer version. High quality as you'd expect.
