  Pickaxe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pickaxe is a tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the handle, similar to a pick.
The large momentum of a heavy pickaxe, combined with the small contact area, makes it very effective for this purpose.
Its handle, without the head, is often used as a baton, for example it is the official side-handle baton used in the British Army.

The pickaxe that had seemed so heavy, was now like a feather in his grasp; he seized it, and attacked the wall.
After several blows he perceived that the stones were not cemented, but had been merely placed one upon the other, and covered with stucco; he inserted the point of his pickaxe, and using the handle as a lever, with joy soon saw the stone turn as if on hinges, and fall at his feet.
Dantes inserted the sharp end of the pickaxe between the coffer and the lid, and pressing with all his force on the handle, burst open the fastenings.

 ongoing · Shiny Red Rock
How I got here was, two recent pieces of writing that made me think heavily were Ruby-centric: Mikael Brockman’s Continuations on the Web and Sam Ruby’s Rails Confidence Builder (there is no truth to the rumor I just made up that either the language or Sam are named for the other).
I’m wondering how Ruby would work as a learner’s first language, and how effective the Pickaxe would be at teaching it that way; while it calls out to other languages, it doesn’t rely on those call-outs in any essential way.
But you know, there are two sides to that question, and the Pickaxe tries to be fair: Static typing can be good for optimizing code, and it can help IDEs do clever things with tooltip help, but we haven’t seen much evidence that it promotes more reliable code.

Now, here is what I think is probably better about a steel pickaxe, although I have no idea if it's true: It probably breaks less often.

Se compone de un tutorial para iniciarse en el lenguaje, una parte más avanzada para los ya iniciados o gente con una buena base de POO y una extensísima referencia de todas las librerías de Ruby.
El libro original trataba sobre Ruby 1.6 pero la evolución del lenguaje provocó que a finales del 2004 apareciera una nueva revisión ampliada y que se basa en Ruby 1.8.2 conocida, por supuesto, como The PickAxe II.
