Thanks Infuzion, the monk seems great and easy reading.
As most books are in english and it's not my mothertonghue then easy readability comes in handy.

+1 for the monk

think I start to get a hang of the basics. but when it comes to more advanced stuff I get a little lost.

my method is to just run through the tutorial/reading until I loose track of things. then I take a good break for a day or five then I go back to the beginning and run through it again. each restart makes me go a-ha! and I get a little further before I again loose track of the theory I'm reading. slowly getting the hang of Rubydubie ;)

Here's another one I just found yesterday...
The B*st*rds Book of Ruby
...despite the shocking title, it actually seems very well written and explained. It is arranged more around the concepts that you need to understand, rather than an overwhelming method by method analysis.

For me that has been the key. The learning curve seemed very steep at first, especially as I never used anything object oriented before. But now that I've tinkered some more, it seems like it is a very consistent and forgiving language once you do get the basic concepts nailed, so the learning curve seems to be flattening out quite quickly.

That's a great choice! The FS manual and the Pragmatic Guide are both excellent resources for learning Ruby.

The FS manual is a comprehensive guide to the Ruby programming language. It covers everything from the basics of syntax and semantics to more advanced topics like object-oriented programming and metaprogramming. The Pragmatic Guide is a more concise and focused guide that is aimed at experienced programmers who want to learn Ruby quickly.

I would recommend reading the FS manual first, as it will give you a good foundation in the Ruby language. Once you have a basic understanding of Ruby, you can then read the Pragmatic Guide to learn more about the language and to get some practical advice on how to use it.

Here are some other resources that you may find helpful:
