Pro Ruby - Henrik Mårtensson - Bog

Ruby is presently one of the most discussed programming languages in computing today, offering an array of capabilities similar to Python, but also boasting an extremely popular Web-based framework known as Ruby on Rails. Pro Ruby is the first book to presume the reader already possesses knowledge in language fundamentals, and accordingly attempts to guide the reader to an even higher level of proficiency by introducing advanced Ruby programming concepts alongside sound developmental strategy.
Pro Ruby discusses a number of intermediate and advanced topics such as project planning and requirements analysis, object-oriented design, and Ruby-based patterns. The book also delves into somewhat more concrete matters such as GUI development, databases, XML, and running Ruby on Windows. Together, the book's contents offer an interesting blend of Ruby-slanted development theory and Ruby-specific advanced language instruction.
