"The book is a simple, short introduction to computer science and programming. It's an unusual book as it is really short and concise (side note: compare it to The Art of Computer Programming by Donald E. Knuth "“ 3168 pages)." Full Review >

"This isn't the book for you if you want to mainly do tutorials with Ruby. I see it as a good starter book for those really new to computer science as a topic or are just interested in maybe starting to program. " Full Review >

"Overall, the book could do with treatment of more computer science focused topics, as it happens to be the objective of the book. ." Full Review >

"The book is a short read, at 188 pages, yet does an admirable job of providing a basic overview of both the core Ruby programming language and some fundamental computer science concepts. I was particularly impressed with the overviews of some major sorting/searching algorithms and measurement of complexity (Big O Notation). The authors made these topics very accessible which is an impressive feat." Full Review >
