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.
