| If you’re looking at this book and reading this introduction, you probably have these two questions:
Should I learn Ruby?
Is this the book for me?
Of course, the answers to these questions depend upon who you are and what your situation is. But the fact that you’re curious about Ruby and this book would lead me to suggest that the answer to both question is “Yes!” But I admit I have a biased opinion.
There are a lot of programming languages out there and lots of books on each language. If you quickly read just the next couple of pages, I’ll outline my case for Ruby and this book in detail, but know that Ruby is a language that’s quite powerful and useful but still remarkably easy to learn. This book, then, has the same aspirations: it’s very easy to learn from, and it focuses on providing the most useful information above all. |
