Ruby in Practice increases your productivity by showing you specific Ruby techniques you can use in your projects The book offers detailed strategies for using Ruby in a large scale environment You ll see concrete examples of integration messaging web development and databases all presented in a clear Problem Solution format This book won t help you push your deadline back but it will help you get the job done in less time Above all Ruby in Practice is a practical book for developers who want an in depth understanding of the Ruby language and its toolset The book is divided into three major parts The first part concentrates on issues that developers face both from within their organizations and from their peers The authors weigh the costs and benefits of using Ruby in enterprise development projects the over riding theme being that every developer should always aim to use the right tool for any particular job The authors then examine the pros and cons of developing with Ruby and where appropriate compare Ruby to other languages both conceptually and in code The second part discusses techniques for communication and integration of systems The authors describe how libraries and techniques are used to facilitate messaging ePub and Kindle eBook from Manning Also available is all code from the book Ruby in PracticeOver the course of 360 pages Jeremy McAnally and Assaf Arkin tackle lots of different topics of interest to developers The book is structured in 3 main parts Ruby techniques Gives a general introduction to Rubys strength which sometimes reads as a bit of a sales pitch BDD and TDD as well as scripting with Ruby including OLE and OSA Integration and communication This part covers Rails web services in general HTTP REST SOAP automating communication with email and IM asynchronous messaging and deployment options Data and document techniques This part talks about databases structured text authentication searching indexing and document processing Chapters usually present the reader with a problem then show an example solution which usually makes good use of existing libraries and then finish with further discussion on the topic alternative ways to implement it pitfalls in using the shown solution in real life scenarios etc For people with previous knowledge of Ruby this book is a good read which shows how the dynamic nature of the language combined with the quite big amount of readily available libraries enable developers to quickly and efficiently find solutions to common problems I sometimes do have minor quirks with some of the code but thats just personal preferences and being nitpicky All in all its a very solid book which I enjoyed quite a lot 360 What an incredible treasure of ideas This book is simply amazing Part of my amazement is that I believe nearly every one of the problem solution sets that the authors provided can apply directly to what I m doing right now at work It s probably coincidence than anything but I am thrilled to have read this book and have at my disposal a litany of options for getting some work done in Ruby 360
