Wanted book review: "The Well grounded Rubyist" - David A/ Black.

[Ed Howland]

Has anyone seen/ read/ browsed this book? I'm considering buying it
and would like some second opinions.


It is the sequel sor of to Ruby for Rails but with no Rails and more
Ruby (1.9.1)

Thanks
Ed

I own the old (Ruby for Rails) edition. It was good in its coverage,
but terribly dry. Hard to read, actually; I never finished it. I
haven't looked at the new edition at all yet. Not sure if I'd be able
to judge its readability before buying it, unfortunately.

Thanks Craig.
The blurb on the back wasn't much help. Seemed to indicate you should
be using the new features in the 1.9 series and here is how. I might
just stick with Pickaxe(2).
