Working through it at the moment. I was impressed at how it covered
everything. It talks about correct gemspecing and project structures, as
well as intros to TDD. For an intro level book, it covers everything at a
broad level - giving you good foundation and advancing their muscle memory
skills.

The first chapter is non-religious - editor setup and verifying it is
working for all OSes. This is an area where a lot of beginners get hung up
on IME.

I think it would be useful for every participant to complete the exercises
on their own before participating in a mentoring program.
