Resources for Ruby (other than IDEs)

Language Resources

The Little Book of Ruby

The Little Book of Ruby is an introduction to Ruby that quickly gets you started with Ruby programming. At only 90 pages (.pdf) and using simple, clear language, it's a very quick read. It assumes the reader has prior programming experience, though not necessarily in an object oriented language. All of the code used in the book is also available online.

Ruby QuickRef

Ruby QuickRef is an excellent resource for quickly looking up Ruby syntax. Rather than giving paragraphs of explanation and loads of examples, it simply provides the syntax in a well sectioned and easy to read format. Think of it as a Ruby cheat sheet.
