内容简介: Welcome to Ruby for Rails. This book is an introduction to the Ruby programming language, purpose-written for people whose main reason for wanting to know Ruby is that they’re working with, or are interested in working with, the Ruby on Rails framework and want to do Rails knowledgeably and right.

Ruby is a general-purpose,object-oriented,interpreted
programming language designed and written by Yukihiro Matsumoto (known widely as “Matz”). Introduced in 1994, Ruby rose rapidly in popularity among Japanese programmers. By the early 2000s, more than twenty Japanese-language books on Ruby had been published. The first English-language book on Ruby, Programming Ruby by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt, appeared in late 2000 and ushered in a wave of Ruby enthusiasm outside of Japan. Ruby’s popularity in the West has grown steadily since the appearance of the “Pickaxe book” (the nickname of the Thomas-Hunt work, derived from its cover illustration).

内容简介: This book tries to be both useful in the immediate term and informative in the long term. These goals have a profound impact on how the book is organized.

It's also meant to be accessible to neophytes, but it focuses on programming paradigms and their impact on both language design and language use—topics common to academic programming books. These days, you can use any popular language for most tasks, but that doesn’t mean that solving a given problem will be equally painless in every language. No language exists in a vacuum, and a discussion of a language like Ruby should acknowledge the decisions that went into its design. You’ll find that it’s a very flexible language that lets you combine different approaches in powerful ways. Biologists recognize hybrid vigor; so did Matz when he created Ruby.
