Description of Sams Teach Yourself Ruby in 21 Days

Ruby is a very high-level, fully object-oriented programming (OOP) language. It is very powerful and relatively easy to learn, read, and maintain. This book provides the best introduction to this language and addresses one of the key constraints it faces: "The paucity of quality English-language documentation is one of the few things holding Ruby back from widespread adoption," according to Dr. Curtis Clifton of Iowa State University's Department of Graduate Computer Science. This book offers a solid introduction to Ruby as a programming language and to object-oriented programming in general.
