Ruby is an agile object-oriented language, borrowing some of the best features from LISP, Smalltalk, Perl, CLU, and other languages. Its popularity has grown tremendously in the five years since the first edition of this book. The Ruby Way takes a "how-to" approach to Ruby programming with the bulk of the material consisting of more than 400 examples arranged by topic. Each example answers the question "How do I do this in Ruby?" Working along with the author, you are presented with the task description and a discussion of the technical constraints. This is followed by a step-by-step presentation of one good solution. Along the way, the author provides detailed commentary and explanations to aid your understanding.

Coverage includes:

An overview of Ruby, explaining terminology and basic principles
Operations on low-level data types (numbers, strings, regular expressions, dates)
The new regular expression engine (Oniguruma)
Internationalization (I18N) and message catalogs in Ruby
Operations on hashes, arrays, and other data structures such as stacks, trees, and graphs
Working with general I/O, files, and persistent objects>
Database coverage including MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, DBI, and more
Ruby-specific techniques in OOP and dynamic programming
Graphical interfaces in Ruby (Tk, GTK+, Fox, and Qt)
Working with Ruby threads for lightweight multitasking
Everyday scripting and system administration in Ruby
Working with image files, PDFs, YAML, XML, RSS, and Atom
Testing, debugging, profiling, and packaging Ruby code
Low-level network programming and client-server interaction
Web development tools including Rails, Nitro, Wee, IOWA, and more
Working with distributed Ruby, Rinda, and Ring
Ruby development tools such as IDEs, documentation tools, and more

Hal Fulton has two degrees in computer science from the University of Mississippi. He taught computer science for four years at the community college level before moving to Austin, Texas, for a series of contracts (mainly at IBM Austin). He has worked for more than 15 years with various forms of UNIX, including AIX, Solaris, and Linux. He was first exposed to Ruby in 1999, and in 2001 he began work on the first edition of this book, which was the second Ruby book in the English language. He has attended six Ruby conferences and has given presentations at four of those, including the first European Ruby Conference in Karlsruhe, Germany. He currently works at Broadwing Communications, working on a large data warehouse and related telecom applications. He works daily with C++, Oracle, and of course, Ruby. Hal is still active daily on the Ruby mailing list and IRC channel, and has several Ruby projects in progress. He is a member of the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society. In his personal life, he enjoys music, reading, writing, art, and photography. He is a member of the Mars Society and is a space enthusiast who would love to go into space before he dies. He lives in Austin, Texas.

Andre Arko has been a Rubyist for 8 years. In that time, he's written many Ruby gems, including jquery-rails, and is a member of the Bundler core team.

In der Welt der dynamischen Programmiersprachen ist Ruby – nicht nur wegen Rails – sicher eine der Perlen. Kaum eine Sprache ist einfacher, lesbarer und besser dafür geeignet, um z.B. interne DSLs zu schreiben. Das Buch von Hal Fulton ist die Referenz schlechthin und (neben dem OReillys Cookbook) das umfangreichste Buch zu dieser wunderbaren Sprache. Herausragend ist es aber nicht nur wegen der fast kompletten Vollständigkeit (einschließlich sehr vieler Bibliotheken), sondern auch wegen einiger Kapitel, die sich der Thematik DSL und Metaprogrammierung annehmen. Hier gibt es viele schöne Beispiele, wie sich der eigene Code noch einfacher und effizienter gestalten läßt.Stefan Edlich (zur Vorauflage)
