Title: Too many words
Review: My programming experience = nil. I am not counting AppleScript, HTML, JavaScript. When I bought this book I was hoping to get some help. Reviews were great. I found that: the purpose for writing the book was to show off the richness of authors vocabulary. He didn't want to teach. He wrote it to ramble about RB, his point of view on certain aspects of RB. He doesn't explain almost anything in a simple, straight forward way. The examples of code are very limited. I retyped more than ten of them and not even one (!) of them worked! Program either froze or crashed or just didn't compile. I am better off using the Developers Guide from RB and Language Reference. Some tutorials on line are also helpful. This is an example how a "guide" shouldn't be written. I am just a beginner - I may be wrong. The book might have been written for RB gurus. I didn't learn almost anything from it.
