Ruby in a Nutshell....

Perhaps this is why Ruby is such a wonderful language.

That doesn’t mean much. It’s an old book from 2001 (!!) that’s described as “slightly dated”, “very much a brief reference” and “the library reference is too stark– most methods seem to have only one or two lines for description.” I could make a crappy book for any language with fewer pages; it wouldn’t necessarily mean the language were any better.

Peter - You’re absolutely right of course which is why I mentioned it may not be very scientific. What first caught my attention was the enormous size of the Java book. For a nutshell, that sucker is huge! This was intended to poke some fun at the other languages :)

It’s exactly why I hate ruby - no or useless documentation.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
