Re: [ANN] Rails for Java Developers

You should come visit the local Ruby mailing list for questions like  
this.

http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/raleigh-rb-members

  There are more than a few Ruby gurus over there who can point at  
tons of docs.

In the meantime, it's not offline, but I use http://www.ruby-doc.org/ 
core/

I'm finding it interesting, especially with projects like JRuby, how  
many people are working with both Ruby and Java.
