good reference

Очень подробная книга по рельсам. Дало повод поковыряться в недрах самого фреймворка. Читал правда 4ю редакцию.

It's an interesting almanac of tips for programming ruby. I doubt you'd read it cover-to-cover but still handy.

Good nuts and bolts view of Ruby (a programming language) with lots of examples. Good for Ruby programmers looking to become advanced Ruby programmers.

While this is packed to the brim with sage advice, it could use some reorg.

That being said, it *is* a cookbook-style book, which I don't normally enjoy so much as I appreciate as quick reference.

Wish I had as ebook!

Bar none, the most essential book on the established Rubyist's bookshelf.

Ruby is a great language, but finding a good Ruby book is tricky. Hopefully this is the one that will make it all make sense . . .
