A complete guide for Ruby Progammers

[Leslie Viljoen]

Friends,

We had put lot of effort to bring this English Ruby tutorial online but
instead of any appreciation people started blaming us. I found out "Ruby
in a Nutshell" on the net and if you see itself is a copy of standard
ruby manual.

I found few pieces copied from this book and according to my fellow
writer he found this content interesting on the net and tried to
incorporate here. So finally I tried to remove that content.

I've gone through 8 books while compiling this content. We are not a
research scholars who do R&D and then write a book. Like other authors,
we also took many things as reference while writing this tutorial.

Anyway, if you did not like it then we are sorry....but I can say there
are few books who gives you clear understanding on Ruby-on-Rails,
Ruby/TK etc. if you have one then pls let me know.

Here's a tutorial on plagiarism:

It is a great thing to share knowledge, but copying other peoples work
word-for-word
and then not crediting it to them is dishonest. Just rework the
material you copied a bit
and your tutorial will be much better.

Also, the rails quick guide looks quite useful, thanks for that!

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Self-plagiarism

What's funny is how we are allowed to publish college text books as
2nd or 3rd Ed. and charge more for them, when most of the editing was
in fact correctional, and the resale value of such a book is paltry at
best. Of course, I'm talking more about older tech basic texts, like
physics, math, some engineering, etc.

Poor students.

There's a tiny little part of me that thinks the business is better
than even real estate.
