""Wicked Cool Ruby Scripts", by Steve Pugh, is a wicked cool book for noob-and-up Ruby users. Ruby is a modern, elegant interpreted programming language. This means you don't need to compile your Ruby programs, but simply write and run them, just like you do with Bash, Python, or Perl scripts.

"This book is not for the complete Ruby novice, so beginners will want to start with some of the many excellent Ruby tutorials or books; Squidoo.com has a good selection to choose from. You don't need to be a pro, but you should have a good grasp of Ruby basics to be able to follow and run the scripts in the book."
