The Well-Grounded Rubyist by David Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was suggested to me by someone as a helpful book for someone new to the language but not new to programming in general. I found this more helpful than the Pickaxe book because it’s concise with examples while being detailed in the [...]
No, PC gaming is not dead. Far from it. I’ve been playing a lot of Torchlight during my spare time lately. It’s a dungeon crawling loot-stravaganza for the uninitiated. The UI is great.
