[BioRuby] Fw: books to learn Ruby

[Marjan Povolni]

Hi,

I used "The Well-Grounded Rubyist" by David A. Black. I don't remember
anymore why I liked it, but I did. Starting with a tutorial from this site
might be also a good idea, depends on the person:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/

To me, the Ruby Koans (http://rubykoans.com/windows) provided a nice
introduction to the language in a short time. There are also instructions
on how to install Ruby on windows on that website.
