Design Patterns in Ruby
If you are a Ruby nut like I am or you are just beginning in the language, I highly recommend Russ Olsen’s Design Patterns in Ruby. The book covers many of the original “Gang of Four” patterns from the classic book Design Patterns but it applies all of the Ruby magic that is inherent in the language. For those new to Ruby, this is not really a starters book, but it does have a simple introduction to the language that would suffice for those with development experience in other languages, especially object oriented languages. The examples in the book are well thought out and include enough detail to allow the reader to understand the pattern in full, without going too far which could obscure the point of the example. Congratulation Russ, this is a fantastic book.
