You'll start by learning fundamental Ruby programming principles, such as correctly using core classes, class and method design, variable usage, error handling, and code formatting. Moving on, you'll learn higher-level programming principles, such as library design, use of metaprogramming and domain-specific languages, and refactoring. Finally, you'll learn principles specific to web application development, such as how to choose a database and web framework, and how to use advanced security features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this Ruby programming book, you'll have gained the skills you need to design robust, high-performance, scalable, and maintainable Ruby applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile most code examples and principles discussed in the book apply to all Ruby versions, some examples and principles are specific to Ruby 3.0, the latest release at the time of publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Ruby's core classes and design custom classes effectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the principles behind variable usage and method argument choice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement advanced error handling approaches such as exponential backoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign extensible libraries and plugin systems in Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse metaprogramming and DSLs to avoid code redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement different approaches to testing and understand their trade-offs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover design patterns, refactoring, and optimization with Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore database design principles and advanced web app security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already know how to program in Ruby and want to learn more about the principles and best practices behind writing maintainable, scalable, optimized, and well-structured Ruby code, then this Ruby book is for you.
