There may be no better way to learn how to program than by dissecting real, <br />
representative examples written in your language of choice. Ruby by Example <br />
analyzes a series of Ruby scripts, examining how the code works, explaining the <br />
concepts it illustrates, and showing how to modify it to suit your needs. <br />
Baird's examples demonstrate key features of the language (such as inheritance, <br />
encapsulation, higher-order functions, and recursion), while simultaneously <br />
solving difficult problems (such as validating XML, creating a bilingual <br />
program, and creating command-line interfaces). Each chapter builds upon the <br />
previous, and each key concept is highlighted in the margin to make it easier <br />
for you to navigate the book.<br />
