<wwalker> Just read the first 50 pages of "Crystal Programming: A project-based introduction to building efficient, safe, and readable web and CLI applications" by George Dietrich and Guilherme Bernal. So far, it is a very cleanly written book, enough information to understand each concept, but not constantly repeating things. I really like it.

<Blacksmoke16> the CLI chapter is also based on oq
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> but isnt really called out
<mps>

<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> enjoy :) chapters on macros/annotations are also nice given last book didnt touch on those as much. plus the more advanced patterns ive used
