  • Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby
    An online Ruby book for beginning coders which reads like an illustrated novel.Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby, sometimes called W(p)GtR or just "the poignant guide", is an introductory book to the Ruby programming language, written by why the lucky stiff. The book is unusual among programming books that it includes quite a lot of strange humor and narrative side tracks that don't necessarily have anything to do with the topic. As a result, many bits of the book have become inside jokes in the Ruby community such as references to the words chunky bacon. The book includes many characters which have become popular too, particularly the cartoon foxes.

New scrapers can easily be made in Ruby, shared with other RSSscraper users, and plugged in - ready to serve. Serving the RSS feeds works with either the built-in webserver, CGI or eRuby.
