The funniest programming book ever!

I haven’t got that far yet - but so far, I am loving Ruby.

I started reading the Poignant Guide to Ruby. Why aren’t all programming books written like this? Funny comics, talking foxes and black-market child sales..what other programming book is going to have all that?

The author even encourages piracy because he is not in it for the money. Nice.

Check out this excerpt:

“…Like I said, start selling copies of my book, but corrupt the text. These altered copies would contain numerous blatant (and libelous) references to government agencies, such as the U.S. Marshals and the Pentagon. You could make me look like a complete traitor.”
