List of Resources for Learning Ruby
An earlier hn post about learning Ruby (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4068633) got me thinking and since I haven't seen a good list of Ruby learning resources all together in one place in a while I put together a few of what I think are some of the better resources, in no particular order - most are just ruby, a few are for Rails. I'm sure I've missed a few good ones so let me know what those are.

I know that tryruby is based off of why's guide, but here's his great book in HTML form

I'd also recommend Zed's book as a place to do some exercises. It is pretty much a straight port of his Python book, so you won't learn the idioms, but it's still well structure

Ah - I knew I was forgetting something! why's book is a must read for sure.
