Описание книги The Book Of Ruby:
Ruby is
famous for being easy to learn, but most users only scratch the surface
of what it can do. While other books focus on Ruby’s trendier features,
The Book of Ruby reveals the secret inner workings of one of the
world’s most popular programming languages, teaching you to write
clear, maintainable code.
You’ll start with the basics—types,
data structures, and control flows—and progress to advanced features
like blocks, mixins, metaclasses, and beyond. Rather than bog you down
with a lot of theory, The Book of Ruby takes a hands-on approach and
focuses on making you productive from day one. As you follow along,
you’ll learn to:
- Leverage Ruby’s succinct and flexible syntax to maximize your productivity
- Balance Ruby’s functional, imperative, and object-oriented features
- Write self-modifying programs using dynamic programming techniques
- Create new fibers and threads to manage independent processes concurrently
- Catch and recover from execution errors with robust exception handling
- Develop powerful web applications with the Ruby on Rails framework
Each chapter includes a "Digging Deeper” section that shows you how
Ruby works under the hood, so you’ll never be caught off guard by its
deceptively simple scoping, multithreading features, or precedence
rules.
Whether you’re new to programming or just new Ruby, The
Book of Ruby is your guide to rapid, real-world software development
with this unique and elegant language.
