  HIGHLIGHT

  The perfect introduction to Ruby, completely updated for Ruby 1.9.

  DESCRIPTION

  The Well-Grounded Rubyist takes the reader from interested novice to proficient

  practitioner. It's a beautifully written tutorial that begins with the basic steps to

  get the reader's first Ruby program up and running and goes on to explore

  sophisticated topics like callable objects, reflection, and threading. Whether the

  topic is simple or tough, the book's easy-to-follow examples and explanations

  give the reader immediate confidence as you build your Ruby programming

  skills.

  The Well-Grounded Rubyist is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of the

  best-selling Ruby for Rails. In this new book, expert author David A. Black moves

  beyond Rails and presents a broader view of Ruby. It covers Ruby 1.9, and keeps

  the same sharp focus and clear writing that made Ruby for Rails stand out.

  It's no wonder one reader commented: The technical depth is just right to not

  distract beginners, yet detailed enough for more advanced readers.
