Hi.

I have used O'Reilly books for years. With 1.5 exceptions, the tens of books that I have from them have been very good. They now sell other publisher's books as well as their own.

I have the first edition of Progamming Ruby, Dave Thomas et. al., Pragmatic Programmers. I see from O'Reilly Search: ruby that they have just released the 4th edition. I liked the 1st, but I have no experience with the 4th. Sort by date to see the most recent books.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
