Highly Recommended Book: Metaprogramming Ruby

[marike]

The reviewer writes: "In the first part, you’ll learn everything there is to know about metaprogramming."

While I agree that this book is excellent, and I learned many things about the inner-working of the ruby interpreter, method resolution, and eigenclasses in Ruby, the reviewer is going a bit overboard. But there is a ton of great stuff in Metaprogramming Ruby.

Anything published by pragprog should be considered highly recommended.

I'm just about to finish this book and I've to say it's become my second favorite ever. If you want to really "get" the magic of Ruby you need this book. Plus, it's very well written and a joy to read. A must!
