We like solving problems with software, there are so many ways you can make people’s life better by leaving the hardwork for computers.
Ever since we started working with Ruby, we’ve found ways to be more productive and get more stuff done, came up with creative solutions, and had fun doing so.
You’ve heard of Ruby, and you want to use it for your next project, but where do you start? This book is for you. We’re not going to teach you Ruby—we’re going to show you how to use Ruby in practice, how to solve common problems with minimal effort.
We’ll talk about building Web apps and Web services, moving data between applications and on the network, managing systems and producing reports. We’ll talk about simple scripts for automation, and about deploying large systems. We’ll show you that Ruby has a lot to offer, beyond Web apps, and share recipes for success.
Who’s we? I (Jeremy) am a developer, author, and college student. You can find out more about me over at my blog . Assaf Arkin develops commerical and open source software, mostly Ruby and Java. You can learn more about him over at his blog Labnotes.
The book? We’re writing Ruby in Practice for Manning Publications.
We’re going to blog here about the writing process, share our materials with you, include stuff that doesn’t quite fit in the book, and always listen to your feedback. Tell us what you’d want to read about.
We hope you’ll find the resources here useful. In the immediate future, you can look for Assaf to give you a regular stream of Ruby-related links, under the title map.resources :ruby. I’ll post articles and PDF essays to help you get more out of Ruby. Stay tuned.
