Need Help??

in reply to Re: Re: perl vs ruby
in thread perl vs ruby

I was pretty surprised to find the Ruby article article featured at perl.com, but thinking again it isn't such a surprise: O'Reilly has to sell its Ruby in a Nutshell, and outside of Japan Perl programmers are probably the main audience for such a book.

Unfortunately the O'Reilly article missed one of the most important sources for Ruby beginners:
There is allready the Programming Ruby book published by Pragmatic Programmers. You can read the whole book in html here.
So just download Ruby and/or read the free book to get a feeling about Perls little brother.

Missed? You think that O'Reilly omitting the first and only good currently available book in English on Ruby, a book which just happened to be produced by a competitor of theirs, is an accident? Particularly when said book is rather well known, and is one of the main reasons that the language has been getting some press lately? I don't...	[reply]

Well, in my humble opinion we basically wrote the same. It just happens that both of us have different styles of writing and different ways to communicate/transport meaning ;-) Hermeneutically yours, Hanamaki	[reply]
