[Scott Taylor]

I was wondering if there are any Ruby tutorials with excercises at the
end of the chapters or sections which could be recommended

Thanks,

Scott Taylor

Here is nice one with good exercises:

_1.0-1.pdf

Also, several in here, but not all have exercises

Happy Hacking!

Just to be sure we've covered all the options, there are plenty of
exercises at http://rubyquiz.com/.

I highly recommend Why's Poignant guide, you can work through the
various concepts while you read about them. Be warned, it's really
quite strange. Check it out:

Thats a fantastic resource! I've never come across it before - I'm
always on the look out for some interesting and valid practice. My
imagination always freezes though so its good having things like this.
Will have to post that one on my blog.

Don't forget http://tryruby.hobix.com/ ...

I would recommend you look into the Pragmatic Programmers "Learn to
Program" book. Its subtitle is "The Facets of Ruby Series".

I was considering this book, but was hesitant because I already know how
to program (at least, I like to think so!). Is this book aimed strictly
at people who know nothing about programming, or would it also be
appropriate for people who want to learn Ruby, but are otherwise fairly
experienced programmers?

C-based, but still good.

It's a nice site, but I doubt that it's very challenging to write a program
that can solve the question, at least for most of the problems.

It's nice exercies for beginners though.
