Ruby really is super-cool
I fell in love with Ruby years ago, before I had any good use for it (rofl!) Now, working with

nifty language to welcome newcomers into the fold.

- Programming Ruby, 1st edition, is available for free online. In combination with Why's Guide, these two should get you up and running.
