The Ruby Way (buy it at Amazon.com) is a Ruby programming book published by Addison-Wesley that’s often considered the “bible” of Ruby books. It covers a dizzying amount of Ruby topics in a “how to” format – including low level data types, metaprogramming, I/O, graphics libraries, Web development tools, OOP, IDEs, and more (see the full table of contents). It’s an essential book for any Rubyist’s library.
