         No idea, honestly, I just followed the link from
ruby-lang.org. I checked for licenses a bit but didn't look deep
enough.

        @inside the books - which one(s) did you try? Strangely, I
decided to checkout Ruby since one of my good friends keeps talking
about Ruby and RoR these days and has actually implementing a very
nice Indian Railway search with it ;).  And I wanted a very quick
intro to the same just for the heck of it. Found [1] and the essential
links to be very useful.

        I spent a few hours on the ruby-essential [2]  page today, and
did learn quite a bit in a very short time that I have spent on it.

         Btw, I bumped into this book [3]. I haven't read it yet, but
plan to, once I get hold of it.  I was very impressed with the promo
video, I like the fact that it says that its about learning to program
and the implementation of the same is in Ruby.  Its funny how the 10th
chapter is named - "There's Nothing New to Learn in Chapter 10".
Apparently its about Recursion.
