Resources for Introduction to Ruby
July 1st, 2006 by Reuven M. Lerner in
The main site for Ruby is ruby-lang.org. You can download the source code for Ruby by clicking on the download link along the right side of the page.
The standard Ruby tutorial and reference, known as the Pickaxe book, is officially called Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide. The first version of the book is freely available on the Internet, at www.rubycentral.com/book. The second version is available on-line, either from bookstores or directly from the Pragmatic Programmers.
You also might want to subscribe to the Ruby mailing list—although I have found it to be too busy for my taste and get a daily summary via the automatic tools at Google Groups. If you want to subscribe to the list, you can do so via the Web at www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020104.html.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
