Title: Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book - by Jeremy McAnally

It’s a book that will teach you Ruby programming. It has 144 pages. It covers the base syntax of the language, including working with values, flow control, and object oriented programming, into some of the library functionality of Ruby, such as databases, web services, and string manipulation.

It’s written in a conversational narrative rather than like a dry reference book, Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book is an easy to read, easy to follow guide to all things Ruby.
