"Programming Ruby" is considered the standard book on Ruby. It's a good place to start if you are already a programmer. "Pulling Strings with Puppet" is very dated and probably caused more problems with my learning Puppet than it solved. "The Ruby Way" is an excellent overview of how to do a wide variety of things in Ruby. Probably not the best choice for your narrow focus, but an excellent book. I have a number of other Ruby books that are excellent, but I'm not sure what to recommend. I look forward to other suggestions. -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
