About These Downloads
The Ruby Documentation Bundle is assembled by the rubyobjc.com project as a community effort to provide comprehensive offline Ruby documentation. The bundle contains reference material, tutorials, and API documentation.
The Plucker versions were contributed by Douglas Palovick, allowing Ruby developers with Palm handheld devices to carry the full documentation set in their pocket.
The Pickaxe book (Programming Ruby) is the definitive Ruby reference by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt. It is also available to read online courtesy of Ruby Central.
