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.

Welcome Jeremy and Assaf ! And thanks for your support during this promotion.
