There may be no better way to learn how to program than by dissecting

real, representative examples written in your language of choice. Ruby

by Example analyzes a series of Ruby scripts, examining how the code

works, explaining the concepts it illustrates, and showing how to modify

it to suit your needs. Baird's examples demonstrate key features of the

language (such as inheritance, encapsulation, higher-order functions,

and recursion), while simultaneously solving difficult problems (such as

validating XML, creating a bilingual program, and creating command-line

interfaces). Each chapter builds upon the previous, and each key concept

is highlighted in the margin to make it easier for you to navigate the

book.

You'll learn how to:

- Use the interactive Ruby shell (irb) to learn key features of the

language

- Extend Ruby using RubyGems, the Ruby package manager

- Create numerical utilities, as well as utilities that process and

analyze HTML/XML

- Implement purely functional and metaprogramming techniques to save

time and effort

- Optimize, profile, and test your code to make sure that it not only

does its job, but does it well

- Create web applications using Rails

Ruby is the fastest growing programming language today, and for good

reason: Its elegant syntax and readable code make for prolific and happy

programmers. But it can be difficult to understand and implement without

a little help. Ruby by Example shows you how to take advantage of Ruby

as you explore Ruby's fundamental concepts in action.
