Ruby is an increasingly popular, fully object-oriented dynamic programming language, hailed by many practitioners as the finest and most useful language available today. When Ruby first burst onto the scene in the Western world, the Pragmatic Programmers were there with the definitive reference manual, Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide.

Now in its Second Edition, author Dave Thomas has expanded the famous Pickaxe book with over 200 pages of new content, covering all the new and improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules. The Pickaxe contains four major sections: An acclaimed tutorial on using Ruby. The definitive reference to the language. Complete documentation on all built-in classes, modules, and methods Complete descriptions of all 98 standard libraries.

If you enjoyed the First Edition, you'll appreciate the new and expanded content, including: enhanced coverage of installation, packaging, documenting Ruby source code, threading and synchronization, and enhancing Ruby's capabilities using C-language extensions. Programming for the world-wide web is easy in Ruby, with new chapters on XML/RPC, SOAP, distributed Ruby, templating systems and other web services. There's even a new chapter on unit testing.

This is the definitive reference manual for Ruby, including a description of all the standard library modules, a complete reference to all built-in classes and modules (including more than 250 significant changes since the First Edition). Coverage of other features has grown tremendously, including details on how to harness the sophisticated capabilities of irb, so you can dynamically examine and experiment with your running code. "Ruby is a wonderfully powerful and useful language, and whenever I'm working with it this book is at my side" --Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist, ThoughtWorks

读后感

比较好的入门书, 从大的部分开始, 然后一步步讲ruby的语法和概念. 对于有编程经验的同学来说, 没有什么问题. 后面很多reference, 让我觉得看电子版更划算一点. ruby是个魔法语言, 它让你能够写出更简短和更符合人类直觉的代码. 但是也需要人去记很多东西(信息量是固定的, 这个...  

勘误详见：http://www.huachu.com.cn/shuping/shuping_list.asp?lbbh=10040071 由于封面上赫然画着一柄丁字镐，这本Programming Ruby也被Ruby程序员们亲切地昵称为“镐头书”——和历史上大名鼎鼎的“龙书”、“紫皮书”一样，拥有一个独特的昵称本身就证明了这本书的地位。虽...

这本书的确写得很出色 基本没有看不明白需要多琢磨几遍的话 关于ruby 让人讨厌之处大约有两点：1是他是日本人写的 日本人搞的东西的确很多地方透着压抑和bt 2是很多地方透着“无意义的小聪明” 这种小聪明最终是否会带给维护成本增加 现在还不得而知。我强烈推荐 http://www....
