[LRUG] Recomended Ruby Books

[Spencer Turner]

Hi All

There are so many good books, but my number one favourite is
'The Ruby Way' - Hal Fulton

Others that stand out, as memorable are
POODR - Sandi Metz from an OO as many people have mentioned

I didn't see anyone mention Practical Ruby for System Administration
- André Ben Hamou - but I found that a good read as well.
