I would recommend something more polished
Unfortunately, if you reproduce some of the code in the book, it simply won't run in Ruby do to a few errors. For example, in his discussion on hashes, he leaves the commas out of the code and it doesn't work. I was able to figure it out as a coding hobbyist, but if it's truly your first programming book, I would recommend something more polished.

    This book will teach you all the basics of Ruby that a beginner like you should know. In your journey to the bountiful mines of Ruby as a programming language, you will discover many gems that will give you in-depth information that’s not found elsewhere on the internet. In fact, you’ll find the language of this book as slightly informal but not without giving you well-organized information that is mostly borne out of the experience, enthusiasm, and my love for the language. this book is useful when trying to understand the defining characteristics of Ruby. It's a good way to start investigating and handy as a basic reference

    3.0 out of 5 stars False advertising - NOT for the new programmer.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Twice in the book description it mentions that this book is "useful even if you've never programmed anything before." That's absolutely false. Perhaps the author is so far removed from a time when he had zero programming experience that he forgot to explain many key concepts of this type of programming language. I definitely fall into the category of programming newbie. This book was not useful at all. Only after taking an unnamed and FREE online course on Ruby did this book even start making sense. I imagine if you learned Java or C++ etc and wanted a quick tutorial to help you transition, then this book would be helpful. BUT it is NOT FOR BEGINNERS. I hope they change the description because if I were to rely on this book as my only entry into programming, it would've been a complete waste of money.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Too many basic mistakes

    There are numerous mistakes throughout the book. It would be very difficult for someone to learn Ruby if they had no programming experience at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A complete Ruby guide.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

    A comprehensive guide to Ruby, covering everything right from the simplest steps - the beginning. A lot of Ruby and other programming books can be quite a hassle and complicated, but this book has none of it. It's well-organized, and all the code is nicely highlighted in yellow. This is a full, quality guide one can always come back to for reference.

    This is a good Ruby guide. It goes through all the basic fundamentals, from installing Ruby to using it for the first time with some basic commands. It is well-written, there is not a lot of complicating and unnecessary fluff, just basic information useful for every beginner. Nothing revolutionary about it, but worth the price.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Un mal libro para empezar con Ruby
    Reviewed in Spain on August 23, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Tras leer el libro he estadoa punto de desistir en mi idea de añadir Ruby a los lenguajes de programacion que me interesa aprender.
    Es muy basico en lo temas que trata, creo que la organizacion de los temas no es para nada intuitiva ya que considero que no sigue un orden logico a la hora de explicar los conceptos (al menos no sigue un orden ni parecido al de otros libros que tengo/he leido sobre programacion, que son muchos).
    No recomiendo para nada la compra de este libro.

    1.0 out of 5 stars To be avoided
    Reviewed in Germany on August 4, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Even though the book contains the actual knowledge you expect (compact pragmatical Ruby 101), the way it is organized and written is just nonsense... As a programmer with quite some experience in JavaScript and a few months on Ruby, I found it really weird when you're presented with advanced terminology without context/explanation, non-useful example code, confusing examples... The list goes on and on. Anyway, strongly suggest you avoid this book.
