I found MacRuby: The Definitive Guide, by Matt Aimonetti very helpful for getting started with MacRuby.

If you don't know ruby then these 3 books will bring you up to speed relatively quickly. The nice thing is that you can use "Design Patterns in Ruby" as your primary text and the other 2 as reference texts (although you should definitely read "The Ruby Programming Language" all the way through at some point):

  1. The Ruby Programming Language
  2. The Pickaxe Book
  3. Design Patterns in Ruby

  • Thank you +1. New on Ruby. Will start with Design pattern in Ruby – Kb. Oct 02 '10 at 14:25
  • +1 for "The Ruby Programming Language", excellent book! But IMO Pickaxe is overrated. Design Patterns in Ruby is also a fantastic book. – horseyguy Oct 03 '10 at 06:51

I enjoyed Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby for getting started with Ruby. Go "chunky bacon"!
