Ruby Tutorial - part two, now online

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Newcomers to Ruby programming may be interested to take a look at the series of tutorials I’m writing for Bitwise Magazine. In Part Two, which has just gone online, I cover the basics of creating user-defined class hierarchies, dealing with instance and class variables and creating attribute accessors. Part One, which went online last month, is a gentle introduction to Ruby, covering simple string handling, maths, class creation, methods and so on. This series will continue over the next few months and all the source code is available for download.
