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.
