(Ed.) I have the Beginning Ruby and Beginning Rails books. Both books are a good introduction to the Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Ruby is a great scripting language that seems to be fun to learn just like HyperTalk and HyperCard where. Looking forward to doing a RoR (Ruby on Rails) 2.0 web application.
Info
(from their site) - Apress is a publishing company devoted to meeting the needs of programmers and IT professionals. Apress' unique approach to computer book publishing grew out of conversations between Dan Appleman and Gary Cornell, Apress' founders, who believe that too many programming books are of such low quality that they are a complete waste of time. Computer professionals need quality books that are not just rehashes of documentation.

intention to profit from shipping and handling charges. The rates are an

weeks have elapsed since it was shipped. Three weeks is not how long it

have to wait to see if that has happened before any action is taken.
