CSE 341: Programming Languages, Spring 2024

Ruby Resources

There are two primary portals that provide Ruby resources:

• Ruby home page
• Ruby-doc.org

William Mitchell, who teaches comparative programming languages at the University of Arizona, has agreed to provide us with a complete set of his excellent lecture slides. William devoted more time to Ruby in his class than we will, so these notes are more detailed than what we'll get through. But they are a great resource for people who want to review material step by step in a logical progression:

• Complete lecture notes (a pdf with 214 slides)
• Abbreviated lecture notes (a pdf with 107 slides)

Extra Links

Below are several particularly useful links from the two portals as well as some additional resources:

• Ruby in 20 minutes, a great overview
• Programming Ruby, an online version of the first edition of a Ruby textbook
• API documentation, similar to Java API documentation, just click on a class or method to see its description

• Quick reference guide
• A fun Ruby book
