Ruby is a fully object-oriented language, much like the classic object-oriented
language, Smalltalk. Like Smalltalk, it is dynamically typed (as opposed to
Java or C++), but unlike Smalltalk, Ruby features the same conveniences found
in modern scripting languages, making Ruby a favorite tool of intelligent, forward-thinking
programmers and the basis for the Rails web framework.
This is the reference manual for Ruby, including a description of all the standard
library modules, a complete reference to all built-in classes and modules (including
all the new and changed methods introduced by Ruby 1.9). It also includes all
the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced since Ruby 1.8. Learn about
the new parameter passing rules, local variable scoping in blocks, fibers, and
the new block declaration syntax, among other exciting new features.
