The book is very simple, and does exactly what it set out to: teach you the basics of Ruby in a day. If you are an experienced programmer, the content may be a little underwhelming. This is for absolute beginners to programming, not for senior people coming from other languages. Since all the concepts were familiar to me already, I read the book in less than 3 hours. It might actually take a day for someone doing the examples and rereading parts for understanding.If you're a veteran of another language, the book may be of questionable value for you. It does not contain enough material to be useful as a reference, and does not offer comparisons or relation to any other language. That's wasn't the author's goal though.That said, this is exactly the kind of book that I really needed years ago when I was getting started. The big, in-depth books attempting to cover an entire language and every nuance of it are really hard for beginners. A book like this can get someone writing some basic code very quickly, which in turn makes more complex tutorials and books useful for expanding understanding.So what is my perspective? I come to Ruby as a former C# coder, and seasoned Javascript programmer. My work has spanned both desktop and web apps. Ruby on Rails is used in my current job by some of my team members, and it has been challenging for me to understand even with tutorials because the syntax is so loose and simple. I'm used to the more strict syntax of C#, and to a lesser degree javascript.Learning Rails without understanding Ruby has been frustrating, as it feels like a lot of "context" is missing. So today I thought I'd try this quick little book for a quick jolt of basic Ruby without the Rails.
