Free PDF and epub formats plus online reader with AI assistant. For over fifteen years, The Well-Grounded Rubyist has taught beginner and developing Ruby programmers the veteran secrets of Ruby. This new fourth edition of the groundbreaking classic goes beyond syntax and commands into how a Rubyist really thinks. Fully updated for Ruby 3.4, this approachable guide shows you Ruby principles in a way that’s friendly, clear, and packed with code samples. You don’t need to know every Ruby function or add-on library to be a well-grounded Rubyist. All you need is to properly understand the principles that underpin Ruby code! This book highlights the most useful parts of the language with examples designed to spark “aha!” moments. This is not a dry syntax reference or overly technical deep dive. You’ll go from your first Ruby program all the way to sophisticated topics like reflection, threading, and recursion. You’ll learn how to: • Master Ruby’s object-oriented core, including classes, modules, and message passing • Work with Ruby’s built-in types: strings, symbols, arrays, hashes, and numerics • Use RubyGems to install, share, and manage libraries • Organize your code with classes, modules, and mixins • Write clean, expressive Ruby with functional techniques and blocks • Harness regular expressions and file/keyboard I/O for real-world tasks About the book In The Well-Grounded Rubyist, Fourth Edition expert Rubyists David A. Black and Joseph Leo III distill their years of knowledge into an easy-to-read, casual style. Everything you learn is useful and instantly applicable to your day-to-day work as a Ruby developer. You’ll explore the underpinnings of Ruby’s object system, learn how Ruby resolves messages into method calls, and discover why Rubyists think differently about problem solving than programmers in other languages.
