Ruby is one of the most important programming languages in use for web development. It powers the Rails framework, which is the backing of some of the most important sites on the web. The Pickaxe Book, named for the tool on the cover, is the definitive reference on Ruby, a highly-regarded, fully object-oriented programming language. This updated edition is a comprehensive reference on the language itself, with a tutorial on the most important features of Ruby – including pattern matching and Ractors – and describes the language through Ruby 3.3.
Would you like to go from first idea to working code much, much faster? Do you currently spend more time satisfying the compiler instead of your clients or end users? Are you frustrated with demanding languages that seem to get in your way instead of helping you get the work done? Are you using Rails and want to dig deeper into the underlying Ruby language? If so, then we’ve got a language and book for you!
Ruby is a fully object-oriented language. The combination of the power of a pure object-oriented language with the convenience of a scripting language makes Ruby a favorite tool of programmers that want to get things done quickly and cleanly.
This comprehensive reference manual for Ruby includes a description of the most important standard library modules, built-in classes, and modules. It also includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced through Ruby 3.3, including pattern matching and Ractors, and describes the language through Ruby 3.3.
What You Need:
This book assumes you have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming.In general, Ruby programmers tend to favor the the command line for running their code, and they tend to use text editors rather than IDEs.Ruby runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Good stuff!
Excellent book for beginners.

tries to do too much and ends up not doing a good job at any of it
Not that great of a book. For something over 600 pages you’d think it would explain difficult concepts in more detail, like lazy enumerators.Also they seem to have tried so hard to avoid the “somewhat tedious” approach most books take (their words) and instead teach ruby top-down. This, imho, doesn’t work and perhaps there is a reason most books go bottom up. In Programming Ruby they continually have to gloss over concepts that “we haven’t learned about yet but will on page 516”. Now if this was something like a complete beginners guide to programming, i could maybe understand that, but that brings me to the next point – the authors seems to have tried to be a guide to software dev and a learning ruby book and instead gave us the worst of both worlds.For example, they throw in bits about object oriented design and identifying “domain concepts” while introducing classes and objects in ruby. Naturally those bits are woefully inadequate to teach any sort of OO design or modeling, so maybe let’s focus on ruby and leave those things for another book?If you’re catering to an experience dev, then I understand talking about regular expressions so early on page 26, but then you should also skip a lot of the fluff like objects vs classes and design stuff. If you’re catering to a brand new dev that never programmed before, then regular expressions have no business showing up so early in the book.Lastly, this book really should be split into multiple books. It’s a intro to ruby, it’s a deep dive into some less frequently used topic, it’s a discussion on bundlers and gems, a discussion on metaprogramming, and a discussion on ruby for web development and on top of all that it’s a language and standard library reference.so yeah, overall my comment would be “schizophrenic” and authors need to decide what they want this book to be. could be a great intro without all the complexity. or it could be an advanced book without all the basics experienced devs already know, or it could be a reference, or it could be an “OO analysis and design with Ruby”, but it’s trying to be all those things and not doing a good job.

Just soso
Too simple, can have a look. All basic concept and usage case, for beginners

Not for beginner programmers or for experienced programmers beginning Ruby
The book came highly recommended, however, it became clear after pushing through a couple chapters that my time was better spent elsewhere. I appreciate the intention behind trying to break the mold of how programming books are written, however, it seemed like the authors should have just settled on making it a programming book by programmers for programmers. Instead, there seemed to be a constant awkwardness of prematurely introducing concepts that a beginner reader “shouldn’t” understand, thus, needed to be postponed for later in the book. In practice, that only leaves the beginner questioning why it was brought up at all if the authors know they won’t understand, and everyone else is left frustrated when an accessible concept is previewed but withheld for the sake of the theoretical beginners. In the end, I felt like I was spending more time enduring the writing experiment than learning Ruby in a logical, structured way. Essentially, I think the person who would gain most from this book is someone who already knows Ruby so that they can skim everything to find the useful information.
