I started learning Ruby 2 years back, and there were only online tutorials to guide me. But having a good knowledge about OO concepts made it so easy. So, thank you for the book. Manning books have been very helpful so far.

Manning books are very easy to understand and contains good number of code snippets which helps in understanding the subject better.
