Résumé
Ruby is an absolutely pure object-oriented scripting language written in C and designed with Perl and Python capabilities in mind. While Ruby's roots are in Japan, it is slowly but surely gaining ground in the US. Yukihiro Matsumoto, creator of Ruby and author of this book, chose the name Ruby because he was looking for another "jewel name". His declared goal was to take the strengths of languages like Perl, Python, Lisp and Smalltalk and incorporate them into Ruby. Ruby really is a genuine attempt to combine the best of everything in the scripting world. Since 1993, Ruby mailing lists have been established, Web pages have formed, and a community has grown around it. Ruby is very good at text processing and additionally gains from it's very broad object orientation. Ruby is also very portable and runs under GNU/Linux (and other Unices) as well as DOS, MS Windows and Mac.
With Ruby in a Nutshell, Matsumoto offers a practical reference to the features of this new language including the command-line options, syntax, built-in variables, functions, and many commonly used classes and modules. This guide covers the current stable version of Ruby (1.6), yet is applicable to the development version 1.7 and the next planned stable version 1.8. You will find a thorough description of Ruby's language syntax, and a description of the core functionality built into the standard Ruby interpreter, which has more than 800 built-in methods in 42 classes and modules. Ruby finds its power through its built-in libraries, and this handy volume take you through the many useful libraries that come with the standard Ruby distribution, from network access via HTTP and CGI programming, to data persistence using the DBM library. This book concludes with coverage of the unique tools that come with Ruby, including the debugger, profiler, and irb (or interactive ruby.) Find out how Ruby combines the strengths of other languages, and why it has captured the interest of so many open source programmers. As part of the successful "in a nutshell" series of books from O'Reilly & Associates, Ruby in a Nutshell is for readers who want a single desktop reference for all their needs.
L'auteur - Yukihiro Matsumoto

Ruby is his first piece of software that has become known outside of Japan.
