Programming Ruby 3.3

Synopsis:

Programming Ruby 3.3 (5th Edition)—affectionately known as The Pickaxe Book—is the definitive guide to the Ruby programming language. Written by Noel Rappin with contributions from Ruby luminary Dave Thomas, this edition is fully updated to cover Ruby 3.3, including new features like pattern matching and Ractors.

Aimed at both newcomers and experienced developers, the book balances a hands-on tutorial with an exhaustive language reference, making it ideal for those who want to go from idea to working code faster and more cleanly. Whether you’re a Rubyist working behind the scenes in Rails or a programmer seeking a powerful yet elegant object-oriented language, this guide helps you unlock Ruby’s full potential.

Combining the power of pure object-oriented design with the ease of scripting, Programming Ruby 3.3 is more than a manual—it’s a productivity toolkit for anyone who wants to write beautiful, maintainable code without wrestling with the compiler.
