Welcome to Ruby Programming: Coding For Beginners 2 Coding With Ease, a book that takes a less serious but equally descriptive look at Ruby so that you can learn how Ruby works. I seriously hate reading the documentation and I usually write my own documentation, which not only doesn’t sound like it was done by a monotone robot but also accounts for weird special cases. This book is a tutorial on some of the intermediate concepts found in Ruby.
In the first chapter, we go over:
• What a Ruby Mixin is
• The logic behind a Ruby Mixin, which means that we will take a few existing Ruby Mixin’s and reconstruct them so that we can get a better look at their insides
• How to create your own Ruby Mixin utilizing some of what we learned and some more that we will learn in the remainder of the book.
In the second and third chapter, we will go over Ruby Objects, which means we will get into the basic terminology of Classes and some of the variables associated with them. Additionally, we go over the more raw form of how to create Strings so it can better help you understand the concept of an object and instances of Classes. Additionally, we’ll go over a basic view of Regular Expressions inside of Ruby so that you can get off the ground with them and immediately put them to use inside of your coding or programming projects.
In the remaining chapters, we will go over some of the more complex subjects of Ruby, such as:
• How to create and utilize files so that you can access and utilize permanent or temporary information
• How to navigate through the computer’s file system
• A watered down version of how to create a Ruby gem without all the confusing mess that’s normally associated with them
I have been using Ruby for almost half a decade to make games, educational programs, editorial executables and more. I hope to expand upon this series and cover things like Shoes, which allows Ruby users the ability to create executables, and JRuby, which mixes Ruby and Java. Ruby and Java are my core languages so I would love to share with you all the innards of both of them.
