Eloquent Ruby

It-s easy to write correct Ruby code, but to gain the fluency needed to write great Ruby code, you must go beyond syntax and absorb the -Ruby way- of thinking and problem solving. In Eloquent Ruby, Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby like true Rubyists do-so you can leverage its immense, surprising power.

Olsen draws on years of experience internalizing the Ruby culture and teaching Ruby to other programmers. He guides you to the -Ah Ha!- moments when it suddenly becomes clear why Ruby works the way it does, and how you can take advantage of this language-s elegance and expressiveness.
