Message-ID: <4D831EE1.9000905@jellycoldfinger.com> Hallo to All, I am a complete newbie to Ruby, but the Poignant guide seemed very exciting book to me. The problem is, my eyes have a great difficulty to read off the screen. Does it exist in form of PDF or something else printable? I would be infinitely grateful if I could read it off-line. Ruby seems to me the most promising language today, because it focuses on giving a programmer all possibilities to create working code, not to fight with the code to force it to work. I am only grieving that I made Its acquaintance so late. Good day and good luck, Oleg Andriyenko, best wishes from Ukraine.
