正如您在开车的时候并不需要知道关于汽车的一切;当您开始使用Ruby进行编程的时候,也不需要立刻了解关于Ruby的一切。无论对于Ruby的新手还是老手,《学习Ruby》都是一本即学即用的实用教材。它提供了非常多的Ruby程序,并且解释了这些程序如何运行以及这样运行的原因。这些内容已经足以让您开始您的Ruby之旅。

由于网络开发框架Ruby on Rails的流行和大受欢迎,Ruby已经引起了很多Java和PHP开发人员的兴趣。但除了Rails之外,Ruby还有其他广泛的用途,而学习这些用法的最好方法就是动手尝试编写代码。在本书中,几乎每一页都可以找到代码例子,您可以仿照或者改写这些例子,生成您自己的代码。

本书包含以下主题:

· 介绍Ruby最重要的功能特性

· 示例说明如何使用条件语句以及如何使用Ruby字符串

· 涵盖正则表达式

· 解释如何使用Ruby的操作符、算术表达式、Math模块的函数、有理数等等

· 详细介绍Ruby数组和hash功能

· 讲解使用Ruby进行文件处理

· 对Ruby类和mixin模块的细节展开讨论,包括对面向对象编程的简要介绍

· 介绍XML处理、Tk工具包、RubyGems、反射机制(reflection)、RDoc、嵌入式Ruby、元编程(metaprogramming)、异常处理等内容

· 让您掌握Rails的基本知识,包括一个Rails的简单教程

每一章都有一组问题回顾,附录中有Ruby编程的名词对照表和书中用到的参考资料的出处。如果您想带着Ruby开车兜风,那么《学习Ruby》就是您的车钥匙。

Michael Fitzgerald是一位有20多年经验的程序员和作者,他认为Ruby是到目前为止他最喜爱的编程语言。Michael还是《Learning XSLT》《XML Hacks》《Ruby Pocket Reference》的作者,也是《XML Pocket Reference》的作者之一。以上提到的书籍均由O'Reilly出版。

The animals on the cover of Learning Ruby are giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis), the tallest of all land animals. A giraffe can reach 16 to 18 feet in height and weigh up to 3,000 pounds. Its species name,camelopardalis, is derived from an early Roman name, which described the giraffe as resembling both a camel and a leopard. The spots that cover its body act as camouflage in the African savanna. Its long neck and tough, prehensile tongue allow it to feed in treetops, consuming about 140 pounds of leaves and twigs daily. And its complex cardiovascular system and 24-pound heart regulate circulation throughout its tremendous body: in the upper neck, a pressureregulation system prevents excess blood flow to the brain when the giraffe lowers its head to drink, while thick sheaths of skin on the lower legs maintain high extravascular pressure to compensate for the weight of the fluid pressing down on them.
Giraffes travel in herds comprised of about a dozen females, one or two males, and their young. Other males may travel alone, in pairs, or in bachelor herds. Male giraffes determine female fertility by tasting the female’s urine to detect estrus. Yet sexual relations in male giraffes are most frequently homosexual: the proportion of same-sex courtships varies between 30 and 75 percent. Among females, homosexual mounting appears to comprise only 1 percent of all incidents. Gestation lasts between 14 and 15 months, after which a single calf is born. Only 25 to 50 percent of calves reach adulthood, as the giraffe’s predators—including lions, leopards, hyenas,and African wild dogs—mainly prey on young.
Giraffes use their long necks and keen sense of smell, hearing, and eyesight to guard against attacks. They can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and fight off predators using their muscular hind legs. A single kick from an adult giraffe can shatter a lion’s skull. Giraffes were once hunted for their skin and tail but are currently a protected species.
