Introduction to Ruby

Ruby Overview

Ruby is a powerful object-oriented scripting language that allows you to easily and quickly object-oriented programming. Sometimes using a formal object-oriented language such as Smalltalk, Eiffel, or C + + to develop small projects is a bit of a fuss, and Ruby just satisfies these object-oriented programming needs. Of course, you can also use Ruby for general process-oriented programming.

Ruby has a strong text-processing capability, and is Briber with Perl. At the same time, Ruby's syntax is simple, there are exception handling and the construction of iterators, making programming simple and straightforward.

In short, you can do object-oriented development as quickly and easily as with Perl.

Ruby's Specialty

Simple syntax

Common object-oriented functions (classes, method calls, etc.)

Special object-oriented functions (Mixin, special methods, etc.)

Operator overloading

Error handling features

Iterators and closures

Garbage collection

Dynamic loading (depending on system architecture)

High portability, not only can run on most Unix, but also can run on the platform such as Dos,windows,mac,beos
