Hey I just started learning Ruby and it seems really great, but I was wondering if there were any websites out there that have exercises that would help me learn different ways of programming in it, or just refining my understanding of the language.

Thanks for any help.

Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby has a number of interesting examples of Ruby code. There's also the starter problems page at RubyGarden, and RubyQuiz for some more advanced problems.

Why's guide is awesome, I was just kinda bored and didn't really plan on learning ruby but I started reading through it. It's nice to find a good programming book that isn't just useful but actually fun to read. Not to mention free, and fully pirate endorsed (yarr)

Why's guide is neat just because it's so weird. Personally, I couldn't get past all the strange filler and side-stories to actually get anything out of it.
