"Learn to Program" by Chris Pine, The Facets of Ruby Series, at the Sumner Library. Recommended for someone who's unfamiliar with what constitutes programming, but is eager to learn.
For completeness I'd just like to add:- http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/catalog/index.html The .pdf download versions of some of the books is an economical way to buy the books. They also have a series of shortish monographs which you can access via the "Fridays" tab at the above url. I found:- http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ctrubyqt/index.html To be particularly useful. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
