POODR is a must have - even if you are not programming in Ruby. I was
in the middle of refactoring a Python project the last time the group
read POODR and I was able to apply all of the concepts discussed right
away. The group read it twice because some people had joined the group
after we had already read it. And I fully expect to reread parts of it
just to remind myself of other things I should be doing.

That looks good. If you get it, you will have to tell us what you
think once you have read it.

I have that one but haven't read it yet. I would love for the group to
read it so I'll have the discipline to work through it.

> Eloquent Ruby <http://www.informit.com/title/9780321584106>

I really liked Eloquent Ruby. Good explanations of some the language
with a lot of excellent "do it this way" advice.


And thanks for pulling together the list below. We have read some
great stuff!
