Learning Ruby with w(p)GtR and the Neo Ruby Koans

I have slowly been learning Ruby over the past 2 years as I have been using Buildr to build all our projects. Buildr is an open-source build system used to build Java or Scala applications. It is based on Ruby's build system called Rake and uses Ruby as a scripting language. I am no expert in Ruby but have really enjoyed learning all the useful things you can do with it. There are 2 links I have found enjoyable and useful and I would recommend:

• Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby - an enjoyable, informative read into learning Ruby
• Ruby Koans - a collection of free Ruby test scripts that you run and correct in order for them to pass

Either one of these are a good start for a beginner like me and I would highly recommend them to anyone starting out in learning Ruby.
