I recently got my hands on a copy of Hal Fulton’s The Ruby Way, published in 2002 by Sams Publishing. It’s huge. I would not have the stamina to write something like this. Biblical in proportions.

Your assignment is pages 46-64, which encompasses the Ruby gotchas section. Parser wierdness, syntax subtleties, handy tricks. It’s an eighteen-page bulleted list.

Here’s a link chain to get you into the book on print.google.com:

1. Search for ruby way on Google.
2. Under Book Results, click the “ruby way” link. (600 pages by Hal Fulton, Guy Hurst.)
3. You should be seeing a scan of page 10. Click on “More results from this book.”
4. Check it out, every page of the book. Go to page 4 of the search results. Page 46 should be the first result.

I wanted to write a script to calculate the URL for you, but a solution was evading me. Perhaps someone else can give it a go?
