Yukihiro Matsumoto ("Matz"), the creator of Ruby, is a professional programmer who worked for the Japanese open source company, netlab.jp. Matz is also known as one of the open source evangelists in Japan. He's released several open source products, including cmail, the emacs-based mail user agent, written entirely in emacs lisp. Ruby is his first piece of software that has become known outside of Japan.
Ruby has gained some attention through the popular Ruby on Rails web development framework, but the language alone is worthy of more consideration -- a lot more. This book offers a definition explanation of this powerful and extremely flexible language, which draws inspiration from Lisp, Smalltalk and Perl, but uses a grammar that's easy for C and Java programmers to learn.
With The Ruby Programming Language, you will quickly learn your way around versions 1.8 and 1.9, and discover why this pure object-oriented language is also suitable for procedural and functional programming styles. You'll learn Ruby's lexical structure, primary expressions, conditionals, syntax, classes, the data it manipulates, and more. Ruby blurs the distinction between language and platform, so this book includes a tour of the core Ruby API. But the primary subject is the language itself, including:
* Ruby's lexical structure including basic issues like character set, case sensitivity and reserved words
* Numbers, strings, ranges, arrays, and other data that Ruby programs can manipulate, plus basic features of all Ruby objects
* Primary expressions in Ruby -- literals, variable references, method invocations and assignments
* Conditionals, loops (including blocks and iterator methods), exceptions and other Ruby expressions
* Ruby's method definition and invocation syntax, and the invokeable objects known as procs and lambdas
* An explanation of closures in Ruby and an exploration of functional programming techniques
* Classes and modules in Ruby, inheritance, method visibility, mixing modules and the method name resolution algorithm
* Ruby APIs that allow a program to inspect and manipulate itself, and metaprogramming techniques that use the APIs to extend Ruby's syntax for easier programming
* A quick tutorial of the Ruby platform -- the most important classes and methods, text processing, numeric computation, collections, input/output, networking and threads
The Ruby Programming Language also covers the top-level Ruby programming environment, including global variables and functions, command-line arguments supported by the Ruby interpreter, and Ruby's security mechanism. If you're an experienced programmer who wants a look at this language in depth, this easy-to-follow guide is invaluable.
其实能看懂,但就像一些东西一样,一旦自己写的时候就未必能写出来,我想这是我个人水平还不够的问题,也许书已经讲明白了。 后面元编程的部分直接买了metaprogramming ruby那本书,那本讲的非常好。
评分几年c经验,接触过go,近两年用python做项目,看到本书前面介绍有编程经验即可上手,可能自己道行尚浅,真完全hold不住ruby.踉踉跄跄看了全书,最大感觉是ruby好强大,ruby好复杂,一点都找不到学习的乐趣.... 后面翻了《ruby基础教程》,回头来想本书高大上的东西,可...
评分写的很不错,尤其是ruby语言的特点,比如实现yield段或者和Java非常不一样的unless,untile等等。推荐大家也去读读《代码之美》里面的“程序如散文”
评分上次看到这么牛B的errata,是Modern C++ design, 再上次是DB concepts 其它好像没什么书有这么硕大的errata了。

Document系列永远没法读完>.<
评分1, K&R C for ruby. 2, ruby很妖娆
评分Beginner, also try learn ruby the hard way
评分一本书可以让你爱上一门语言,这就是这样的一本书。不过也许不适合入门。
评分(四)TP312/202 Programming Ruby 只能被我当成字典……
