DragonFly user ‘why the lucky stiff’ has put together a book called ‘Nobody Knows Shoes‘.  Shoes is a library for creating graphical interfaces on Ruby applications.  The book is a lesson on how to use Shoes, mixed in with hand-drawn and collaged art, and available as a free download or a physical, purchasable object.

I am all for more interesting computer books.  This one reads as a mix between an O’Reilly Nutshell guide and The Book of the Subgenius, or perhaps a Max Ernst novel.

Alert readers may remember why’s previous book, “Why’s (Poignant) Guide to Ruby“.
