HIGHLIGHT

The perfect introduction to Ruby, completely updated for Ruby 1.9.

DESCRIPTION

The Well-Grounded Rubyist takes the reader from interested novice to proficient

practitioner. It’s a beautifully written tutorial that begins with the basic steps to

get the reader’s first Ruby program up and running and goes on to explore

sophisticated topics like callable objects, reflection, and threading. Whether the

topic is simple or tough, the book’s easy-to-follow examples and explanations

give the reader immediate confidence as you build your Ruby programming

skills.

The Well-Grounded Rubyist is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of the

best-selling Ruby for Rails. In this new book, expert author David A. Black moves

beyond Rails and presents a broader view of Ruby. It covers Ruby 1.9, and keeps

the same sharp focus and clear writing that made Ruby for Rails stand out.

It’s no wonder one reader commented: “The technical depth is just right to not

distract beginners, yet detailed enough for more advanced readers.”
