Don't even read this book

Don't even read this book, it will actually damage your understanding of Ruby and programming in general. I looked at it, not as a master Ruby programmer, but someone with a long, deep involvement with programming and writing who wanted to see how different authors approached Ruby. Jim Haung's blistering review is an understatement: the author had no idea of what he was talking about, the author may have had trouble with English as a second language, and the Publisher's editorial process not only failed, it could never have happened. The work is an intellectual toxic spill that can only be handled by professional Ruby programmers and computer scientists wanting to grasp deep human misunderstanding.
