The Ruby Programming Language is the authoritative guide to Ruby and
provides comprehensive coverage of versions 1.8 and 1.9 of the language.
It was written (and illustrated!) by an all-star team: David Flanagan,
bestselling author of programming language "bibles" (including
javascript: The Definitive Guide and Java in a Nutshell) and committer
to the Ruby Subversion repository. Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, creator,
designer and lead developer of Ruby and author of Ruby in a Nutshell,
which has been expanded and revised to become this book. why the lucky
stiff, artist and Ruby programmer extraordinaire. 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. 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. The Ruby Programming Language
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.
