Ruby is perhaps best known as the engine powering the hugely popular
Ruby on Rails web framework. However, it is an extremely powerful and
versatile programming language in its own right. It focuses on
simplicity and offers a fully object-oriented environment. Beginning
Ruby is a thoroughly contemporary guide for every type of reader wanting
to learn Ruby, from novice programmers to web developers to Ruby
newcomers. It starts by explaining the principles behind object-oriented
programming and within a few chapters builds toward creating a genuine
Ruby application. The book then explains key Ruby principles, such as
classes and objects; projects, modules, and libraries; and other aspects
of Ruby such as database access. In addition, Ruby on Rails is covered
in depth, and the book's appendixes provide essential reference
information as well as a primer for experienced programmers.
