Rubabel: Wrapping Open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2*
Smith et al. Journal of Cheminformatics 2013, 5:35 http://www.jcheminf.com/content/5/1/35 SOFTWARE Open Access Rubabel: wrapping open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2* Abstract Background: The number and diversity of wrappers for chemoinformatic toolkits suggests the diverse needs of the chemoinformatic community. While existing chemoinformatics libraries provide a broad range of utilities, many chemoinformaticians find compiled language libraries intimidating, time-consuming, arcane, and verbose. Although high-level language wrappers have been implemented, more can be done to leverage the intuitiveness of object-orientation, the paradigms of high-level languages, and the extensibility of languages such as Ruby. We introduce Rubabel, an intuitive, object-oriented suite of functionality that substantially increases the accessibily of the tools in the Open Babel chemoinformatics library. Results: Rubabel requires fewer lines of code than any other actively developed wrapper, providing better object organization and navigation, and more intuitive object behavior than extant solutions. Moreover, Rubabel provides a convenient interface to the many extensions currently available in Ruby, greatly streamlining otherwise onerous tasks such as creating web applications that serve up Rubabel functionality. Conclusions: Rubabel is powerful, intuitive, concise, freely available, cross-platform, and easy to install. We expect it to be a platform of choice for new users, Ruby users, and some users of current solutions. Keywords: Chemoinformatics, Open Babel, Ruby Background tasks. Though it allows the user to access the functionality Despite the fact that chemoinformatics tools have been of the component libraries from one Python script, Cin- developed since the late 1990s [1], the field has yet to fony does not automatically manage underlying data types rally in support of a single library.

An Introduction to Ruby and Rails
An Introduction to Ruby and Rails This paper was originally presented at the Southwest Fox conference in Gilbert, Arizona in October, 2010. http://www.swfox.net An Introduction to Ruby and Rails Rick Borup Information Technology Associates 701 Devonshire Dr, Suite 127 Champaign, IL 61820 Voice: (217) 359-0918 Fax: (217) 398-0413 Email: [email protected] Ruby is a powerful, object-oriented, open-source language with a clean and easily understandable syntax. Originally released to the public in 1995, wide-spread interest in the Ruby language really began to take off in 2003 with the release of the Ruby on Rails® framework. Also known as "RoR" or simply "Rails", Ruby on Rails is an open-source Web framework that makes it possible to quickly and easily create data-based Web applications. Together, the Ruby language and the Ruby on Rails framework can become an exciting and powerful addition to any developer's toolbox. This session introduces both the Ruby language and the Rails framework, focusing on their installation and use on a Windows® platform with a perspective geared toward experienced Visual FoxPro® developers. © 2010 Rick Borup Page 1 of 64 An Introduction to Ruby and Rails Table of Contents Introduction............................................................................................................................................................ 4 Installing Ruby and Rails on Windows......................................................................................................... 4 Installing Instant Rails

Raw Notes on the Ruby Language
Raw Notes on the Ruby Language Marcello Galli, October-2014 These notes are the by-product of a never-held seminar on the Ruby language. I like the Ruby language: it has a lot of peculiar features, interesting ideas implemented and a lot of features built into the language; it is a complex language, so, while studying the language, I prepared some raw notes for myself, with the idea of a Ruby seminar for my colleagues, but a Python course was more than enough for them, so the seminar was never held. I ended putting these raw notes on my website, but on the web there is so much material about Ruby, that I doubt I will ever have some casual readers. Nevertheless these notes are here, unfinished, in a raw state, with errors and typos, but free for everyone (for non-commercial use), released under the "Creative Commons License":http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/.

Why Ruby on Rails?
Why Ruby On Rails? + Aaron Bartell [email protected] Copyright 2014 PowerRuby, Inc. There's something special going on with Ruby and Rails. Never before has there been such coordinated community efforts to efficiently produce reusable code (aka gems) in such open and social fashions. Coding is fun again. We want to introduce that reality to the IBM i platform. "...an estimated million developers use Rails..." - Yehuda Katz**, as stated in "The Rails 4 Way" **member of the jQuery, RubyOnRails, and Ember.js Core Teams Ruby… a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. Matz desired a language which he himself enjoyed using, by minimizing programmer work and possible confusion - enter Ruby. hello_world.rb puts "Hello World" - Est 1995 by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto - Mass acceptance 2006 - Very active and well organized community Invoke in PASE: Features: - variable declarations are unnecessary - everything is an object - can be written in procedural fashion - has interactive environment for easy learning (i.e. tryruby.org) ruby-lang.org – Home website ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby - Traditional learning codecademy.com - Learn Ruby in the browser for free amzn.to/1apcrse - Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros RubyGems… simplify the process of installing, removing, updating and managing Ruby libraries and their dependencies. Ruby is a great language, but the Ruby community wanted to start modularizing and sharing code - enter RubyGems. - Est 2001 - server for hosting and distribution of gems, rubygems.org “There’s a gem for that” - manage gem dependencies - manage multiple versions of the same - every Ruby business programmer library easily - included in Ruby as of 1.9.3 - Rails and Bundler are gem themselves.
