Start Ruby journey

Some time ago, I was working on an ERP project, and the performance of my notebook was poor (MB memory), so I could not do any development. In my spare time, I think of Ruby, a scripting language of interest. I had long wanted to explore Ruby, but it was hard to find time. Since it is a scripting language, of course, it does not have high requirements for the system, so we started the ruby journey.

Ruby is a fast and concise object-oriented scripting language with powerful functions. Of course, the scripting language is explanatory. If you have studied groovy, you will find many similarities between the two. The most prominent is the application of code blocks (blocks), which is called closures in groovy ). This is also the core of the Ruby language. This article will be detailed later.

Ruby has simple syntax, high scalability, and good portability. You can find tool software based on rubyexpansion on the http://rubyforge.org/website.

Here, by the way, Ruby's simple installation method (for Windows): Download one-click Ruby installer from http://rubyforge.org/and enter ruby-V at the command prompt, it indicates that Ruby has been installed:

Ruby 1.8.2 () [i386-mswin32]
