• Access to all of the sample programs via the email feature in Code View
• Highlighting and Bookmarking both supported
• Search the current chapter and the current book quickly and easily

Ruby Phrasebook

Ruby Phrasebook gives you the code you need to quickly and effectively work with Ruby, one of the fastest-growing languages in the world thanks to popular new Ruby technologies like Ruby on Rails.

Concise and Accessible
Easy to carry and easy to use–lets you ditch all those bulky books for one portable pocket guide

Flexible and Functional
Packed with more than 100 customizable code snippets–so you can readily code functional Ruby in just about any situation

The Ruby Way: Solutions and Techniques in Ruby Programming, Second Edition
The Ruby Way takes a “how-to” approach to Ruby programming with the bulk of the material consisting of more than 400 examples arranged by topic. Each example answers the question “How do I do this in Ruby?” Working along with the author, you are presented with the task description and a discussion of the technical constraints.

The Rails Way
Ruby on Rails strips complexity from the development process, enabling professional developers to focus on what matters most: delivering business value. Now, for the first time, there’s a comprehensive, authoritative guide to building production-quality software with Rails. Pioneering Rails developer Obie Fernandez and a team of experts illuminate the entire Rails API, along with the Ruby idioms, design approaches, libraries, and plug-ins that make Rails so valuable. Drawing on their unsurpassed experience, they address the real challenges development teams face, showing how to use Rails’ tools and best practices to maximize productivity and build polished applications users will enjoy.
