说实话，“最好的方法”取决于你目前的技能水平。按编程水平从低到高排列，我认为你应该从以下几本中选一本开始：1. Chris Pine 的《Learn to Program》 2. Brian Marick 的《Everyday Scripting with Ruby》 3. David Thomas 和 Andrew Hunt 的《Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide》。要提高你的技能并内化常见的 Ruby idiom，有一本极好的书是……的《The Ruby Way》
The "best way" depends on your current skills, really. Ordered by increasing levels of programming skill, I'd say you should start with one of the following: 1. Learn to Program by Chris Pine 2.

Testing is one reason I think Everyday Scripting with Ruby is such a great book: while it's for someone with a casual acquaintance with programming, it still manages to teach TDD with Ruby in a clear, helpful manner that actually helps the reader internalize…
