The Ruby Way assumes that the reader is already familiar with the subject matter. Using many code samples it focuses on "how-to use Ruby" for specific applications, either as a stand-alone language, or in conjunction with other languages.

Topics covered include:

  • Simple data tasks;
  • Manipulating structured data;
  • External data manipulation;
  • User interfaces;
  • Handling threads;
  • System programming;
  • Network and web programming;
  • Tools and utilities.

Note: The appendices offer instruction on migrating from Perl and Python to Ruby, and extending Ruby in C and C++.
