My Daughter Loves Ruby

The O'Reilly door prize books for Boise Code Camp v1.0 came, so I have a big stack of books I am busily getting to the winners. A number of lucky attendees won their choice of book from O'Reilly's expansive catalog of books. Now they are all setting in my living room. Kind of wish I had time to read them all before delivering them.

My 3 year old daughter really loves the The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide to Programming Ruby. I think mostly because the cover graphic is pink (or close to pink), or it could be the pretty ruby on it too. Although I didn't ask her why. I might do that.

How do I know this? I was reading a computer magazine with her and she pointed to a picture of the book and said “I wove dis book daddy! I wove it. And I have it! Wanna see?” and then went I showed me where I had the books stacked for the prizes. She started going through the book looking for that one.

I guess she has good taste. Or she really likes pink.
