Updated code examples to match Ruby 1.9 behavior\n3. Applied grammar/spelling corrections\n4. Updated outdated Ruby installation instructions\n5. Converted the HTML book into Markdown (\\_why originally authored it in Textile)\n6. Made a build system powered by Jekyll\n7. Enabled syntax highlighted code where previously there wasn't\n\n## Build system\n\nRun `jekyll serve` to [build the site with Jekyll][jk].\n\nThe individual chapters are in `_posts/` directory.\n\n## Notes\n\nThere's a [Japanese translation of the book][jp], although I can't tell how up\nto date it is.\n\nChapter 8: Heaven's Harp was never recovered.
