Ruby: Programming, Master's Handbook: A TRUE Beginner's Guide! Problem Solving, Code, Data Science, Data Structures & Algorithms (Code like a PRO in 24 ... design, tech, perl, ajax, swift, python)

I found out about Ruby when I was looking through message boards and forums and trying to find recommendations about underrated but very useful programming languages. Ruby came up a lot in those searches.I am teaching myself various programming languages for quite some time with mixed results. When you are self-educated, big part of success is definitely the quality of your source. I'm happy to say that this book has helped me tremendously with Ruby.The book is very well organized and written, the author doesn't rush you through anything and it has a nice pace to it. About half of the book are examples and that is where you will learn the most, actually.This isn't just for beginners, I would say that it can be very useful for more experienced in Ruby too. Anybody can refresh their knowledge and brush up on Ruby with this book. I really like it, recommended.

I am not really into programming and this book proves that. I had a difficulty in understanding every information written on the book. However, I cannot deny the fact that the book is comprehensive enough in giving information and examples. I can also see that the pace is not slow and not fast. It is enough if you are starting to study this kind of programming. I just can't really apply it on my own.

This book can be fairly exhaustive in detailing langauge specifics; no doubt this will turn some readers off. The problem with other books is that they often avoid detail at the expense of clarity. For my money, this book makes learning the minutae required for competent programming that much easier, by being so complete and well-organized. There's no need for readers of this book to turn to any sort of "supplementary text," as is so often the case with less well thought-out books.This book is quite long and simply one of the finest software development books ever written. The style, the length, the scope, and the structure are all absolutely perfect. The balance creates a reading experience that seemingly opens a channel to your brain and feeds the information in.

This is no exaggeration. An accurate description of this book is: "The author's philosophies about coding, if he knew anything about coding, which he does not." The author intersperses Ruby code with Java code; in fact, there is more Java code than Ruby code in this book. Do not buy this book if you want to learn Ruby. There are much better Ruby books available on Amazon, such as "The Ruby Programming Language" by David Flanagan and Yukihiro Matsumoto, and "Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby" by Sandi Metz. I see this book has many 4- and 5-star reviews; I suspect these were all paid for. I could go on, but I won't waste my time or yours.

To be honest I am not a programmer, but I’m curious about programming because I heard that programming is in demand now, that’s why I purchased the book and this book gives me an idea about how to do a programming and honestly I really can't understand all the information inside the book maybe because I have no knowledge about programming and also because I’m not a truly programmer.

I have to admit that I am a complete newbie when it comes to programming. In any case, thisbook was just what I needed to get a better understanding of programming in general and the RubyLanguage specifically. The book quickly explains why the Ruby Language is worth spending time learning.It is a popular programming language with the advantage of closely resembling real spoken language.This means Ruby is not only simple but very flexible as well.While Ruby: Programming, Master's Handbook might be too basic for someone with a great deal of exprience,I really appreciated that the book gave a clear background of the language and step-by-step directions for itsuse.

Although it is not that well written, it is definetely helpful if you wanna learn to code.

This book gives a practically good overview of Ruby programming for a beginner such as me. I am new to programming and I had bit knowledge about this kind of programming. By reading his book I have understood some important things to know about programming. This is my first time dealing with Ruby programming and this comprehensive guide was just perfect. The discussion of each chapter is laid out in a structured and detailed manner. I think I gather a good understanding by reading it. I definitely recommend this book for beginners. Huge thanks to the author.

Vraiment pour débutants en programmation. Vous ne serez pas un pro après avoir passé à travers le livre

ok

A very brief introduction to ruby. 57 pages, which is not a bad thing - but if you have any programming knowledge it is just a waste of time. Goes in to details telling you that a "String" is made up of the letters "s", "t", "r", "i", "n" and "g". In a 57 page book this is crazy.

Don't waste your money or your time on this. It's about 5 minutes worth of material and most of the examples don't work. Utter junk.
