The Ruby Programming Language is the authoritative guide to Ruby and provides comprehensive coverage of versions 1.8 and 1.9 of the language. It was written (and illustrated ) by an all-star team:

  • David Flanagan, bestselling author of programming language "bibles" (including JavaScript: The Definitive Guide and Java in a Nutshell) and committer to the Ruby Subversion repository.


  • Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, creator, designer and lead developer of Ruby and author of Ruby in a Nutshell, which has been expanded and revised to become this book.


  • why the lucky stiff, artist and Ruby programmer extraordinaire.
This book begins with a quick-start tutorial to the language, and then explains the language in detail from the bottom up: from lexical and syntactic structure to datatypes to expressions and statements and on through methods, blocks, lambdas, closures, classes and modules.

The book also includes a long and thorough introduction to the rich API of the Ruby platform, demonstrating -- with heavily-commented example code -- Ruby's facilities for text processing, numeric manipulation, collections, input/output, networking, and concurrency. An entire chapter is devoted to Ruby's metaprogramming capabilities.

The Ruby Programming Language documents the Ruby language definitively but without the formality of a language specification. It is written for experienced programmers who are new to Ruby, and for current Ruby programmers who want to challenge their understanding and increase their mastery of the language.

First wear ripped down butt seam
Color: Champagne-6pcs, Size: 14, Color: Champagne-6pcs, Size: 14
The color is darker in person, which is annoying because we were looking at the color specifically when purchasing. Look at reviews for what the color looks like. We purchased the “Champagne” colored suit. Size 14 works for my 13yr old. Good quality overall. Just a bit disappointed about the color difference. UPDATE: My son wore his suit for the first time to acting class, and while moving in a bending motion his pants ripped down the butt seam. I hope this was simply a fluke incident and that I can easily repair it. I said when he sat down it ripped more. A bit disappointing. He wasn’t doing lunges in his suit.

Fits well, good quality
I measured my son carefully and this fits him perfectly. It is good quality and has gained him many compliments on how great he looks when he wears it to Mass. He also says it is very comfortable, and he loves the bow tie.
