It was written (and illustrated!) by an all-star team:</p><ul><li>David Flanagan, bestselling author of programming language "bibles" (including <I>JavaScript: The Definitive Guide</I> and <I>Java in a Nutshell</I>) and committer to the Ruby Subversion repository.</li><br/><br/><li>Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, creator, designer and lead developer of Ruby and author of <I>Ruby in a Nutshell</I>, which has been expanded and revised to become this book.</li><br/><br/><li>why the lucky stiff, artist and Ruby programmer extraordinaire.</li> </ul> This book begins with a quick-start tutorial to the language, and then explains the language in detail from the bottom up: from lexical and syntactic structure to datatypes to expressions and statements and on through methods, blocks, lambdas, closures, classes and modules.<br><br> The book also includes a long and thorough introduction to the rich API of the Ruby platform, demonstrating -- with heavily-commented example code -- Ruby's facilities for text processing, numeric manipulation, collections, input/output, networking, and concurrency. An entire chapter is devoted to Ruby's metaprogramming capabilities.<br><br><I>The Ruby Programming Language</I> documents the Ruby language definitively but without the formality of a language specification. It is written for experienced programmers who are new to Ruby, and for current Ruby programmers who want to challenge their understanding and increase their mastery of the language.<br><br></div></Content><IsLinkSuppressed>0</IsLinkSuppressed></EditorialReview></EditorialReviews><SimilarProducts><SimilarProduct><ASIN>0321743121</ASIN><Title>Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial:

Like Smalltalk, it is dynamically typed (as opposed to Java or C++), but unlike Smalltalk, Ruby features the same conveniences found in modern scripting languages, making Ruby a favorite tool of intelligent, forward-thinking programmers and the basis for the Rails web framework.<br/><br/> This is <i>the</i> reference manual for Ruby, including a description of all the standard library modules, a complete reference to all built-in classes and modules (including all the new and changed methods introduced by Ruby 1.9). It also includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced since Ruby 1.8. Learn about the new parameter passing rules, local variable scoping in blocks, fibers, multinationalization, and the new block declaration syntax, among other exciting new features.</p></Content><IsLinkSuppressed>0</IsLinkSuppressed></EditorialReview></EditorialReviews><SimilarProducts><SimilarProduct><ASIN>1934356549</ASIN><Title>Agile Web Development with Rails

In <B><I>Eloquent Ruby, </B></I>Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby like true Rubyists do–so you can leverage its immense, surprising power.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left"></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left">Olsen draws on years of experience internalizing the Ruby culture and teaching Ruby to other programmers.

You’ll learn how to write code that actually looks like Ruby (not Java or C#); why Ruby has so many control structures; how to use strings, expressions, and symbols; and what dynamic typing is really good for.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left"></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left">Next, the book addresses bigger questions related to building methods and classes. You’ll discover why Ruby classes contain so many tiny methods, when to use operator overloading, and when to avoid it. Olsen explains how to write Ruby code that writes its own code–and why you’ll want to. He concludes with powerful project-level features and techniques ranging from gems to Domain Specific Languages.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px" align=left text-align="left"></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"

You concentrate on creating the application, and Rails takes care of the details.<br/><br/> Tens of thousands of developers have used this award-winning book to learn Rails. It's a broad, far-reaching tutorial and reference that's recommended by the Rails core team. If you're new to Rails, you'll get step-by-step guidance. If you're an experienced developer, this book will give you the comprehensive, insider information you need.<br/><br/> Rails has evolved over the years, and this book has evolved along with it. We still start with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and in-depth chapters look at the built-in Rails features. This edition now gives new Ruby and Rails users more information on the Ruby language and takes more time to explain key concepts throughout. Best practices on how to apply Rails continue to change, and this edition keeps up. Examples use cookie backed sessions, HTTP authentication, and Active Record-based forms, and the book focuses throughout on the right way to use Rails. Additionally, this edition now reflects Ruby 1.9, a new release of Ruby with substantial functional and performance improvements.</p></Content><IsLinkSuppressed>0</IsLinkSuppressed></EditorialReview></EditorialReviews><SimilarProducts><SimilarProduct><ASIN>1934356085</ASIN><Title>Programming Ruby 1.9: The Pragmatic

Description</Source><Content><P>When television viewing audiences first met Ruby Gettinger, a mild-mannered, sweet-natured, Southern-food addicted Sunday school teacher, her weight was hovering near 500 pounds. As the ad campaign for the show says, Ruby doesn′t know how she got to this weight, but she knows its killing her. Having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and told by doctors that she would die if she continued to carry all that weight, Ruby is changing her life to save it. Her honesty, optimism and genuine commitment to uncover all the underlying causes of her addiction--mental, physical and emotional--are inspiring millions of others in the process. So too is her progress. (She′s now down to 360 pounds!)</P> <P> While Style′s cameras have been following Ruby′s personal journey as she sheds the weight, gets healthier, battles discrimination daily, and struggles to recover lost childhood memories, these excerpts, taken from the journal Ruby carries with her everywhere on the show, include her most intimate reflections, insights and discoveries regarding her life "before" and "during" this incredibly transformative experience. It also includes her fears, hopes and dreams for life after her goal is realized. In addition, the book will feature thoughts from the doctors, dieticians, trainers, therapists, friends and family supporting Ruby′s mission. Everyone following and touched by Ruby′s story will want to read this book.</P></Content><IsLinkSuppressed>0</IsLinkSuppressed></EditorialReview></EditorialReviews><SimilarProducts><SimilarProduct><ASIN>B0027HOBMC</ASIN><Title>Ruby: A Journey to Lose the First 100

Written for both experienced and new programmers alike, <I>Learning Ruby</I> is a just-get-in-and-drive book -- a hands-on tutorial that offers lots of Ruby programs and lets you know how and why they work, just enough to get you rolling down the road.<br><br> Interest in Ruby stems from the popularity of Rails, the web development framework that's attracting new devotees and refugees from Java and PHP. But there are plenty of other uses for this versatile language. The best way to learn is to just try the code! You'll find examples on nearly every page of this book that you can imitate and hack. Briefly, this book:</p><ul><li>Outlines many of the most important features of Ruby</li> <li>Demonstrates how to use conditionals, and how to manipulate strings in Ruby. Includes a section on regular expressions</li> <li>Describes how to use operators, basic math, functions from the Math module, rational numbers, etc.</li> <li>Talks you through Ruby arrays, and demonstrates hashes in detail</li> <li>Explains how to process files with Ruby</li> <li>Discusses Ruby classes and modules (mixins) in detail, including a brief introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP)</li> <li>Introduces processing XML, the Tk toolkit, RubyGems, reflection, RDoc, embedded Ruby, metaprogramming, exception handling, and other topics</li> <li>Acquaints you with some of the essentials of Rails, and includes a short Rails tutorial.</li> </ul> Each chapter concludes with a set of review questions, and appendices provide you with a glossary of terms related to Ruby programming, plus reference material from the book in one convenient location. If you want to take Ruby out for a drive, <I>Learning Ruby</I> holds the keys.</div></Content><IsLinkSuppressed>0</IsLinkSuppressed></EditorialReview></EditorialReviews><SimilarProducts><SimilarProduct><ASIN>0596516177</ASIN><Title>The Ruby Programming
