I am learning ruby. I was wondering if the The Ruby Programming Language book is still valid in ruby 2.2.2 even though the book is written for ruby 1.8 and 1.9?

It may be a bit long in the the tooth, but it's still a great book. – Cary Swoveland May 25 '15 at 03:27

I've removed the request for a book recommendation, since off-site recommendations are off topic for SO. The rest of the question is fine. – Wayne Conrad May 26 '15 at 00:03

The Well Grounded Rubyist has been published more recently than that, and covers Ruby 2.1. There weren't any large changes between 2.1 and 2.2, so that book should cover everything you need to know.
