Head First Ruby

With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the author's raw and unedited content as he or she writes—so you can take advantage of these technologies long before the official release of these titles. You'll also receive updates when significant changes are made, new chapters as they're written, and the final ebook bundle.

Head First Ruby uses an engaging, active approach to learning that goes beyond dry, abstract explanations and reference manuals. This Head First guide teaches you the Ruby language in a concrete way that gets your neurons zapping and helps you become a Ruby genius. You'll enter at Ruby's language basics and work through progressively advanced Ruby features such as classes, inheritance, and blocks. As your Ruby skills grow, you'll tackle deep topics such as exception handling, modules, and mixins. You'll end by writing your own web app.
