Those of us coming from a C# / VB.NET background who’ve decided to cross the tracks not only have a framework to learn, but a brand new language and syntax. Ruby certainly is a lot different than C# or VB, so I thought I’d slap up a link to a brand new, shiny Ruby eBook I saw over on lifehacker: “Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book”.
You can check it out right here. He makes available an HTML version, PDF version, and a hardcopy.
Speaking of ebooks, I’ve just about finished “Getting Real” by 37signals. Coming from the large, big business culture you often find in the Microsoft world, this book is absolutely refreshing. It’s a totally new perspective on building web apps. All the way from dealing with the clients (and my favorite – saying No to them for a change) to hiring staff. This book is a must read and I highly recommend it. Check it out here.
