Addison-Wesley Professional. Very Good. 7 x 0.95 x 9.13 inches. Paperback. 2011. 448 pages. <br>It's easy to write correct Ruby code, but to gain the fluency needed to write great Ruby code, you must go beyond s yntax and absorb the Ruby way of thinking and problem solving. In Eloquent Ruby, Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby like true Rubyist s do-so you can leverage its immense, surprising power. Olsen dr aws on years of experience internalizing the Ruby culture and tea ching Ruby to other programmers. He guides you to the Ah Ha! mome nts when it suddenly becomes clear why Ruby works the way it does , and how you can take advantage of this language's elegance and expressiveness. Eloquent Ruby starts small, answering tactical questions focused on a single statement, method, test, or bug. Yo u'll learn how to write code that actually looks like Ruby (not J ava or C#); why Ruby has so many control structures; how to use s trings, expressions, and symbols; and what dynamic typing is real ly good for. Next, the book addresses bigger questions related t o building methods and classes. You'll discover why Ruby classes contain so many tiny methods, when to use operator overloading, a nd when to avoid it. Olsen explains how to write Ruby code that w rites its own code-and why you'll want to. He concludes with powe rful project-level features and techniques ranging from gems to D omain Specific Languages. A part of the renowned Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series, Eloquent Ruby will help you put on your Ruby-colored glasses and get results that make you a true believ er.
