what is the equivalent of "Effective Ruby"

[Rob Sanheim]

Is there an equivalent book to Meyers' "Effective C++" series and
Bloch's "Effective Java" for Ruby? I know the Pickaxe book is the
standard reference/tutorial book, but how about a book that focuses on
best practices, gotchas, common idioms, ideas for API design, and all
that good stuff?

Try printing it in Firefox. Set the margins to 0 and turn off all
page headers/numbers/etc.

It looks and works great when printing that way.

I'll add a "ditto" for "The Ruby Way". It's not laid out in the same
way as "Effective C++", but a lot of the material is along the same
lines.

Just finished reading it (or at least most of it). Eye-opener book! Excellent!
