So, in a nutshell, I would get:
1) The Dave Thomas Ruby book (second edition!)
2) The O'Reilly Ruby Cookbook
3) Quite possibly the Agile Programming with Ruby book (take a look at
a bookstore)

And I would take a look at other Pragmatic Programmers' texts on rails as well.

Things to avoid at the moment include:

O'Reilly's Ruby in a Nutshell (out of date, not a strong effort
despite the author)
Most "me too" books on Ruby from non-geek-o-centric publishers
Any book that doesn't know Ruby 1.8 exists yet.

Hope this helps.


Of course it helps.  Thanks, Jon!

Mike
