Fixnum and Bignum class are not defined (but permitted) ● Ruby 2.3 and Ruby 2.4 conforms the specification ● Conforming program should not depend on Fixnum, Bignum and their range Fixnum and Bignum is Implementation Detail ● The range of Fixnum varies Ruby program should not depend on the range for portability ● The spec.

  • The Ruby Way: Solutions and Techniques in Ruby Programming
    Praise for The Ruby Way, Third Edition “Sticking to its tried and tested formula of cutting right to the techniques the modern day Rubyist needs to know, the latest edition of The Ruby Way keeps its strong reputation going for the latest generation of the Ruby language.” Peter Cooper Editor of Ruby Weekly “The authors’ excellent work and meticulous attention to detail continues in this lat- est update; this book remains an outstanding reference for the beginning Ruby pro- grammer—as well as the seasoned developer who needs a quick refresh on Ruby. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Ruby programming.” Kelvin Meeks Enterprise Architect Praise for Previous Editions of The Ruby Way “Among other things, this book excels at explaining metaprogramming, one of the most interesting aspects of Ruby. Many of the early ideas for Rails were inspired by the first edition, especially what is now Chapter 11. It puts you on a rollercoaster ride between ‘How could I use this?’ and ‘This is so cool!’ Once you get on that roller- coaster, there’s no turning back.” David Heinemeier Hansson Creator of Ruby on Rails, Founder at Basecamp “The appearance of the second edition of this classic book is an exciting event for Rubyists—and for lovers of superb technical writing in general. Hal Fulton brings a lively erudition and an engaging, lucid style to bear on a thorough and meticulously exact exposition of Ruby. You palpably feel the presence of a teacher who knows a tremendous amount and really wants to help you know it too.” David Alan Black Author of The Well-Grounded Rubyist “This is an excellent resource for gaining insight into how and why Ruby works.

  • Apache Thrift and Ruby by Randy Abernethy
    Apache Thrift and Ruby By Randy Abernethy In this article, excerpted from The Programmer’s Guide to Apache Thrift, we will install Apache Thrift support for Ruby and build a simple Ruby RPC client and server. Ruby is a flexible programming language used for systems administration scripting, web programming and general purpose coding. Many important DevOps tools are written in Ruby, such as Puppet, Chef, and Vagrant. Ruby is behind one of the most popular web frameworks, Rails and Ruby is also a key language in many test frameworks, including RSpec and Cucumber. Ruby provides the best features of Perl’s string processing and adds objects, functional programming features, reflection and automatic memory management. When combined with Apache Thrift Ruby becomes an effective RPC service platform as well as an incredibly versatile language for RPC service mocking and testing. To build Apache Thrift clients and servers in Ruby we will need to install the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler and the Apache Thrift Ruby library package. In Ruby packages are called gems and can be installed using the RubyGems “gem” package manager. There are over 90,000 Ruby gems hosted on RubyGems.org, the central repository for publicly available Ruby packages. A search for “thrift” on the RubyGems.org site produces a list of over 30 gems, including the official Apache Thrift Ruby library, which is named “thrift.” If you have a working Ruby installation, it is fairly easy to install support for Apache Thrift. Here’s an example: $ sudo gem install thrift Building native extensions. This could take a while..
