I’m thinking about adding Amazon links to books that I think are awesome (not just random books). Thoughts? Comments? This is lame? For example, here’s a really awesome book on Ruby:

This book is pretty great

It’s an introduction to Ruby in the beginning, but has a lot of useful random routines, such as how to do numerical integration. This book is worth it solely for its chapters on Regular Expressions and dynamic programming (changing objects’ methods at runtime, etc). Basically whenever I want to go do something new with Ruby, I check this book first and it probably has some way to do it that makes me think Ruby is even more awesome.

So that’s it. And turns out if any of you buy this book after clicking there, I get some money. But don’t do it for me, do it so you’ll realize how awesome the Ruby language is.
