Programming Ruby1.9
- Share to:
When Andy and I wrote the first edition, we had to explain the background and appeal of Ruby. Among other things, we wrote, “When we discovered Ruby, we realized that we’d found what we’d been looking for. More than any other language with which we have worked, Ruby stays out of your way. You can concentrate on solving the problem at hand, instead of struggling with compiler and language issues. That’s how it can help you become a better programmer: by giving you the chance to spend your time creating solutions for your users, not for the compiler.”
That belief is even stronger today. Almost eight years later, Ruby is still our language of choice: I use it for client applications and web applications. I use it to run our publishing business (our online store, http://pragprog.com, is more than 40,000 lines of Rails code), and I use it for all those little programming jobs I do just to get things running smoothly.
