Programmation Ruby/Types standards Un livre de Wikilivres. << Retour au sommaire Nous allons voir ici tous les types que nous pouvons considérer comme "standards", dans le sens où nous les retrouvons dans la plupart des langages, et que ceux-ci sont directement intégrés à l'interpréteur (built-in). Néanmoins il ne faut pas perdre de vue qu'il s'agit en réalité d'objets. Pour rappel les méthodes dont le nom se termine par ! Chaîne de caractères[modifier | modifier le wikicode] En ruby les chaînes de caractères sont représentées par l'objet "String". Créer une chaîne de caractères[modifier | modifier le wikicode] En ruby il existe une multitude de manière de créer une chaîne de caractères, par exemple en créant une instance de l'objet String : maChaine = String.new("Une chaîne de caractères") Mais le moyen le plus courant de créer une chaîne est de la placer entre simple quote (') ou entre double quote ("). Dans une chaîne de caractère \ à une valeur particulière, elle permet de placer un caractères d'échappements. %q! "Ho!

Ruby From Other Languages When you first look at some Ruby code, it will likely remind you of other programming languages you’ve used. This is on purpose. Much of the syntax is familiar to users of Perl, Python, and Java (among other languages), so if you’ve used those, learning Ruby will be a piece of cake. This document contains two major sections. The first attempts to be a rapid-fire summary of what you can expect to see when going from language X to Ruby. The second section tackles the major language features and how they might compare to what you’re already familiar with. What to Expect: Language X to Ruby Important Language Features And Some Gotchas Here are some pointers and hints on major Ruby features you’ll see while learning Ruby. Iteration Two Ruby features that are a bit unlike what you may have seen before, and which take some getting used to, are “blocks” and iterators. some_list.each do |this_item| # We're inside the block. # deal with this_item.end Everything has a value Everything is an Object

Getting Started with Nokogiri | Engine Yard Ruby on Rails Blog We're decided to mix up the Engine Yard blog a little and invite some community members to contribute guest posts. This one (our first!) is from [Aaron Patterson]( -- a long-time member of the Ruby community, and the creator of Nokogiri. He hacks with the developers of Seattle.rb, and travels the world to speak about Nokogiri and other Ruby topics at industry conferences and events. Nokogiri is a library for dealing with XML and HTML documents. Getting Nokogiri installedBasic document parsingBasic data extraction Hopefully by the end of this article you will also be able to use and enjoy Nokogiri on a day to day basis too! Installation Nokogiri is actually a wrapper around Daniel Veillard's excellent HTML/XML parsing library written, libxml2. I recommend installing libxml2 on OS X from macports. To install libxml2 from macports: $ sudo port install libxml2 libxslt Then to install nokogiri: $ sudo gem install nokogiri And that should be it! Linux On Fedora: On Ubuntu:

AWK-ward Ruby This essay was to be published as a companion piece to The Shell Hater's Handbook, an introductory talk on UNIX shell programming for Ruby hackers given at GoGaRuCo 2010. Alas, the post-conference wrap up magazine will not be published this year and so I'm making the essay available here instead. Ruby, like most successful languages, was assembled from pieces of things that came before it: Smalltalk's consistent object system, Perl's practical syntax, UNIX's sensibilities. There's something less obvious but perhaps more essential that Ruby borrowed: the very concept of blatant, unashamed borrowing. When I started designing Perl, I explicitly set out to deconstruct all the computer languages I knew and recombine or reconstruct them in a different way, because there were many things I liked about other languages, and many things I disliked. Or did it? If these features didn't originate with Perl, as Wall seems to imply, then where did they come from? cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'

Top 5 Tutorials on Ruby on Rails Ruby on Rails is a new kid in the block into the world of Web application development that is rapidly gaining interest, even though it is in beta versions. These days, I am trying to get my hands dirty with Ruby on Rails using various tutorial posts and also some books. Over the coming days, i will try to share my learnings with you through the blog. Below, in this post, I am putting up a list of Top 5 Tutorials to get you started on Ruby on Rails (RoR). Ruby on Rails Tutorial for Newbies: This tutorial is a basic tutorial targeting the newbies in RoR arena.OnLamp’s Tutorial-Rolling with Ruby on Rails: Author Curt Hibbs has given an excellent post on RoR in his tutorial. While the above listed tutorials are really great, i also recommend that you go through Ruby on Rails guides.

Ruboto: Ruby on Android Introduction Most of the interesting work in software development today occurs at one of the two extremes: huge cloud servers and tiny mobile devices. These domains solve significantly different problems, and, correspondingly, have different tool support. Server development often uses scripting languages to tie together different components and accomplish sophisticated automated tasks, while mobile development focuses on the particular capabilities and needs of a particular device and user. However, these two extremes share a common language: Java™. This article explores Ruboto, a project that bridges the gap between scripting languages and Android. Back to top Ruby background Many scripting languages compete for programmers' affections, but Ruby currently holds a powerful position. Ruby comes in several flavors, including the popular JRuby. Android background Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, but it is most often thought of as a Google project. Android + Ruby = Ruboto Java
