The best tutorial on how to get started in Ruby I've read (and I've read quite a few). It doesn't assume that Ruby's the greatest thing since sliced bread. It doesn't show you how to arbitrarily stack punctuation-heavy statements to produce a compact but unreadable and unpredictable (and I say this as a Perl user) one-liner. It doesn't assume you know nothing about programming. It says "you're a programmer, I'm a programmer. You know what objects are, and what a STDIN stream is. Hop on, and let's see what we can do." More like this, please.
