What book would you recommend? One I found on Amazon was 800 pages, which seems a bit large to me. What I'd like is a Kernighan and Ritchie, or the second edition of Stroustrup's C++ book. Reading Jim's presentation made me wonder if anyone has implemented Ruby in Ruby. Rather like a Lisp interpreter written in Lisp. Which leads me back to wondering if there is Ruby equivalent of Abelsson and Sussman's book on Scheme. Dion,
