Hal Fulton9780672320835, 0672320835

The Ruby Way assumes that the reader is already familiar with the subject matter. Using many code samples it focuses on “how-to use Ruby” for specific applications, either as a stand-alone language, or in conjunction with other languages.Topics covered include: * Simple data tasks; * Manipulating structured data; * External data manipulation; * User interfaces; * Handling threads; * System programming; * Network and web programming; * Tools and utilities. Note: The appendices offer instruction on migrating from Perl and Python to Ruby, and extending Ruby in C and C++.
