[LRUG] Jumping ship to ruby

[Riccardo Tacconi]

Hi,

Many people moved from Java to Ruby, so it should not be a problem. For a
Java, C/C++ developer (well for any Ruby developer) is crucial to read
about duck typing and how code correctness is enforced (tests/specs).

Other LRugers advised me to participate in some open source projects to
gain more experience and I think it was and still is a very good advice.

I have found 'Eloquent Ruby' by Russ Olsen very helpful.

Cheers,

Riccardo
