This goes almost OT, almost but I manage to pull it back.

When I'm learning RoR, should I drop the RoR book and pick up the Ruby book, would it make the learning process easier? I know I have to learn it at some point, either way, but is it absolutely necessary?

I learned Ruby first; it has enough syntactical quirks that you may run into trouble if you're not familiar with them before learning rails.

Makes sense.

Bitey! To the bookstore!

You can learn RoR without learning Ruby, although I find myself going back and learning Ruby better so I completely understand what is going on behind the scenes.

So it's kinda like with Unreal Script, I learned it and used it a bit, but then I fell back to C++ to understand it further, even when Unreal Script isn't offshoot of C++ like RoR is from Ruby, it still helped to know the landuage it was derived from.
