This book uses a tutorial approach that begins with your first Ruby program and takes you all the way to sophisticated topics like reflection, threading, and recursion. Authors David A. Black and Joe Leo concentrate on the language and its uses so you can use Ruby in any way you choose. This edition has been updated for Ruby 2.5. By the end of the book the authors have reached topics on Ruby Dynamics, including object individuation, callable and runnable objects, callbacks, hooks, and runtime introspection, and functional programming with Ruby.
