Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby

Since it appears that Why the Lucky Stiff has rm'ed himself from the Internet (for the time being?), I want to make sure that Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby is available for general use -- namely, for my kids, when they're literate enough to learn how to program.

I had the opportunity to meet and work a little with _why in the spring of 2009. Given my very limited exposure to him, both online and in person, I'm not surprised in the least that this happened.

So, here it is, in PDF form -- it's been lurking on my various desktops for a while now, and I give it to anyone who says something like, "Gee, so what's this Ruby all about, anyway?"

I'm sure there are mirrors elsewhere as well, but this one is the only one I can count on.
