<para>There are no books entirely dedicated to programming with FXRuby,
but the following Ruby books contain sections on FXRuby:</para>

<title>Reference Documentation</title>
<para>The current <ulink url="http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api">FXRuby API
Reference Documentation</ulink> is a work in progress, but serves as a
pretty good guide to the available methods and attributes for the
different classes. The regular <ulink
url="http://www.fox-toolkit.org">FOX</ulink> API
Reference Documentation can be used as a fallback source of
information, although it is intended for users of the C++ library.</para>

<title>Web Sites</title>
<para>The <ulink url="http://www.fox-toolkit.com">FOX toolkit home page</ulink>
is still one of the best places to find information about GUI programming
with FOX. This is the site maintained by Jeroen van der Zijp, the creator
and primary developer of FOX, and serves as the official download site for
the FOX library. In addition to a number of articles about programming
with FOX, you'll find links to projects using FOX. A newer web site,
the <ulink url="http://www.fox-toolkit.net">FOX Community Wiki</ulink>, is
maintained by Sander Jansen. Like most Wiki sites, the information here is
a little more scattered but tends to be more up-to-date than some
information on the main FOX site. This site includes a number of tutorial
articles, as well as "cookbook" and "how-to" pages on many
topics.</para>
