Other titles in the Facets of Ruby series:Programming Ruby 1.9: The Pragmatic Programmers' Guideby Dave Thomas
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Ruby is a fully object-oriented language, much like the classic object-oriented language, Smalltalk. 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. This is the 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. Book News Annotation:This tutorial and reference for the newest release of the Ruby
language and programming environment, Ruby 1.9, is intended for both
experienced Ruby programmers who want to switch to the new release
and to programmers who want to learn the language. Thomas, who wrote
most of the documentation in the Ruby source code, and co-authors
Chad Fowler and Andy Hunt note that 1.9 is a major release and
incorporates several new features: multinationalization, new block
syntax and scoping rules, a new and faster virtual machine, and
hundreds of new methods in dozens of new classes and modules. The
book is well written and provides clear instructions and numerous
examples.
