      Would you like to go from first idea to working code much faster? Do you spend more time satisfying the compiler instead of your clients or end users? Are you frustrated with languages that hinder your progress? If you’re using Rails and want to explore Ruby more deeply, this is the language for you! Ruby is a fully object-oriented language, similar to Smalltalk, but with the conveniences of modern scripting languages like Perl and Python. This combination makes Ruby a favorite among forward-thinking programmers. The book features four major sections: an acclaimed tutorial on Ruby, a definitive reference to the language, complete documentation of all built-in classes, modules, and methods, and thorough descriptions of all 97 standard libraries. It serves as the reference manual for Ruby, detailing all standard library modules and providing a complete reference to built-in classes and modules, including updates from Ruby versions 1.9, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, and 2.0. It covers new syntax and semantics introduced since Ruby 1.8, such as new parameter passing rules, local variable scoping in blocks, fibers, and new block declaration syntax. Dive into Ruby and enhance your programming efficiency!
