Ruby Cookbook Review
Because of the recent and sudden interest in Ruby on Rails, there is quite a demand for books that can help people learn to program efficiently in Ruby. Though the language itself encourages fast learning and a high degree of programmer productivity, there are still a number of commonly solved problems and frequently written algorithms that you shouldn't need to reinvent to start programming in Ruby. And -- as usual -- that's where the O'Reilly Cookbook series comes in.
I found the solutions in Ruby Cookbook to be both relevant to modern programming and easy to implement and adapt to real-world situations. Additionally -- and perhaps this is a more important use for this book -- it shows you the both the limits and benefits of Ruby in a way that no other Ruby book I've seen can do. Since Ruby is so dramatically different from the majority of today's relevant high-level languages -- that is, it's so simplified that it almost doesn't make sense to a C or C++ programmer -- experienced programmers will likely want to know right off the bat what Ruby is made of and what it's best used for.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
