As ruby popularity growing, more and more newbie programmer need a way to improve their ruby ability effectively. Reading examplar code should be a good way to achieve that goal. Are there somebody collecting and cleansing ruby code idioms ? Or somebody is writing a book like effective C++ or effective Java? I have programmed with Ruby for half a year , and I have read Pickaxe, Agile web development with Rails , Ruby developer¡Çs guide, the Ruby way etc. But there isn¡Çt a book can fill the gap. I am eagerly looking forward to such a book full of Ruby code idioms which can also acts as a style guideline. I really think we need a ¡Èeffective Ruby ¡È now.
