Book Description
An expert guide to Ruby, a popular new Object-Oriented Programming Language
Ruby is quickly becoming a favourite among developers who need a simple, straight forward, portable programming language. Ruby is ideal for quick and easy object-oriented programming such as processing text files or performing system management. Having been compared with other programming languages such as Perl, Python, PCL, Java, Eiffel, and C++; Ruby is popular because of its straight forward syntax and transparent semantics.
Using step-by-step examples and real world applications, the Ruby Developer's Guide is designed for programmers and developer's looking to embrace the object-oriented features and functionality of this robust programming language. Readers will learn how to develop, implement, organize and deploy applications using Ruby.
Ruby is currently experiencing a rapid rise in popularity in the object-oriented programming community
Readers receive up-to-the minute links, white papers, and analysis for two years at solutions@syngress.com
Comes with a wallet-sized CD containing a printable HTML version of the book, all of the source code examples and demos of popular Ruby third-party programming tools and applications
Download Description
Ruby astounds developers with its ability to make programming fun again. It frees programmers to concentrate on programming objectives, and creates fewer obstacles than other languages by flowing ideas directly into the code. Although Ruby is experiencing dramatic growth, there are very few educational resources available for aspiring developers. Written by a team of Ruby gurus, Ruby Developer’s Guide is the most comprehensive book available for serious Ruby developers. --This text refers to the Digital edition.

Product Description
Ruby is an agile object-oriented language, borrowing some of the best features from LISP, Smalltalk, Perl, CLU, and other languages. Its popularity has grown tremendously in the five years since the first edition of this book.
The Ruby Way takes a “how-to” approach to Ruby programming with the bulk of the material consisting of more than 400 examples arranged by topic. Each example answers the question “How do I do this in Ruby?” Working along with the author, you are presented with the task description and a discussion of the technical constraints. This is followed by a step-by-step presentation of one good solution. Along the way, the author provides detailed commentary and explanations to aid your understanding.
Coverage includes
• An overview of Ruby, explaining terminology and basic principles
• Operations on low-level data types (numbers, strings, regular expressions, dates)
• The new regular expression engine (Oniguruma)
• Internationalization (I18N) and message catalogs in Ruby
• Operations on hashes, arrays, and other data structures such as stacks, trees, and graphs
• Working with general I/O, files, and persistent objects
• Database coverage including MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, DBI, and more
• Ruby-specific techniques in OOP and dynamic programming
• Graphical interfaces in Ruby (Tk, GTK+, Fox, and Qt)
• Working with Ruby threads for lightweight multitasking
• Everyday scripting and system administration in Ruby
• Working with image files, PDFs, YAML, XML, RSS, and Atom
• Testing, debugging, profiling, and packaging Ruby code
• Low-level network programming and client-server interaction
