Programming Ruby (2nd edition): The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide

by Dave Thomas, with Chad Fowler and Andy Hunt

The Pickaxe book, named for the tool on the cover, is the definitive reference to Ruby, a highly-regarded, fully object-oriented programming language. This Second Edition has more than 200 pages of new content, and substantial enhancements to the original, covering all the new and improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules.

What Version of Ruby are You Using?

Ruby is in a period of transition. 2009 saw the release of Ruby 1.9.1, the next generation of the language. Ruby 1.9 has many enhancements and new features that make it the Ruby of choice for new projects. If you want to use Ruby 1.9, then check out our new book Programming Ruby 1.9.

Alternatively, if you want to continue to use Ruby 1.8, then use the book on this page.

For various technical reasons, the eBook version is a PDF: epub and mobi versions of this title will NOT be available.

Everyday Scripting with Ruby: for Teams, Testers, and You

by Brian Marick

Are you a tester who spends more time manually creating complex test data than using it? A business analyst who seemingly went to college all those years so you can spend your days copying data from reports into spreadsheets? A programmer who can’t finish each day’s task without having to scan through version control system output, looking for the file you want?

If so, you’re wasting that computer on your desk. Offload the drudgery to where it belongs, and free yourself to do what you should be doing: thinking. All you need is a scripting language (free!), this book (cheap!), and the dedication to work through the examples and exercises.

Are you ready for a world filled with flakey networks, tangled databases, and impatient users? If you’re a developer and don’t want to be on call at 3AM for the rest of your life, this book will help you.
