Using Ruby Strings
In most programming languages, strings are pretty dull things. Ruby’s strings are a whole lot more interesting, however. They let you do anything from evaluating program code to launching external applications. They also come in a bewildering variety which, to be frank, is pretty damn’ confusing to a newcomer to the language.
The latest article in the Bitwise Guide To Ruby cuts through the confusion of Ruby strings. If you are new to Ruby, I hope you’ll find it useful.
Meanwhile, for the benefit of anyone who’s keen to know when we’ll finally be putting online a version of the Ruby In Steel IDE for Visual Studio Studio 2005. Well, we’ve already committed ourselves to a first public beta before the end of April - and that commitment stands. We’re mid-way through April at the moment, so that gives us a couple more weeks to smooth out the wrinkles and iron out the bugs. ;)
