If anyone here is interested in learning Ruby, you may like to take a
look at the free eBook which I have just put online: The Little Book
Of Ruby. It contains ten chapters to cover the fundamentals of Ruby
programming plus all the source code for each example in the text.

Thank you, Huw. I took a quick look.

I thought you refused to play with pdf files.

I don't like them, that's for sure.

My mistake, I thought I recalled you being MUCH more ardently
opposed to them.

Right. And I am. In fact, if it hadn't been Huw, I'd have said "go away and
don't come back until you've learned HTML" or something equally nasty and
bad-tempered. But it /was/ Huw, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I
am still hoping he'll provide it in a portable document format instead of
PDF.
