Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen

This book will help you to start writing code the “Ruby way”.

Indeed, it’s easy to write correct Ruby code but to gain the fluency needed to write great Ruby code, you must go beyond syntax and absorb the “Ruby way” of thinking and problem-solving. In Eloquent Ruby, Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby as true Rubyists do.

Practical Object-Oriented Design: An Agile Primer Using Ruby by Sandi Metz

The book to learn to write long-term maintainable code for your Ruby and Ruby on Rails application.

Ruby’s widely admired simplicity has a downside: too many Ruby and Rails applications have been created without concern for their long-term maintenance or evolution. The Web is awash in Ruby code that is now virtually impossible to change or extend. This text helps you solve that problem by using powerful real-world object-oriented design techniques, thoroughly explained via simple and practical Ruby examples.
