Late to the party, part MMMCCXLVII
I read all the raves for Why’s (Poignant) Guide to Ruby when it first came out, but haven’t been intested in Ruby until lately, when two strangely synchronous events occured: on the very same day, the new kid at work decided to give us all a presentation on Ruby, and Leonard’s Ruby Book (which squarely falls into the “hit” partition of Cookbooks, which have been hit or miss) finally finally finally shipped. So today I lazily browsed over and started to read the Poignant Guide. I hereby declare it THE NEW AWESOMEST THING EVAR!!!!!11!!!-(e^pi·i)!!! Words can’t describe. I’m giddy. It’s so good that I’m reading sections out loud to Jenny, who rather than feigning half-hearted interest, nearly broke down in tears at the story of Bigelow. IT’S THAT POIGNANT. Waste no time reading anything else on Ruby before reading this.

I’m sorry but I read the poignant guide to ruby as well. Maybe i am stupid. Notice i don’t write my eyes properly, but i found that book one of the most irritating books I have ever read.
It’s highly likely though it was lost on me and maybe I am covertly asking for help with my IQ. Since we are sharing feelings, why can’t someone else admit that it’s irritating as hell.
