Ruby is a much nicer language than PHP (and I started with PHP, mind!): it's more organized, more elegant, and fairly easy to learn. I recently wrote an article on why people should learn it: http://www.h3rald.com/articles/10-reasons-to-learn-ruby @junkeee

I'd seen a few of these already, but I'd never dug into RubyGarden enough to know about some of these "gems". One thing I did notice with RG was that it gets riddled with wiki spam overwriting the content. I made several reversions over the weekend and even had some of those spammed within a few hours. Fortunately, at this very moment, all your RubyGarden links appears to be legit. Keep it coming with the helpful info! I've already read the second leg. -swedegeek p.s. - Sampo, the Mr. Neighborly book looks interesting. Hopefully, your post isn't just some shameful self-promotion, but I'll likely download the sample chapter tonight anyway.
