(Practical Ruby Projects)

I've been writing for the past year, and I'm crazy about the result. This is the sort of book that I love to read, and hopefully that shines through.

Practical Ruby Projects is based on a few ideas:

• "Hands on" is always better.
• You can cover more if you trust your reader to know the basics.
• Programming can be creative and exciting.
• Getting started is hard. Anything that makes that easy is good.

This book covers a lot of projects (all done in Ruby, of course!):

• Animation
• Music
• Simulation
• Turn Based Startegy Games
• RubyCocoa
• Genetic Algorithms
• Implementing Lisp
• Parsing
