Synopsis

It's now easier to learn to write your own computer software than it has ever been before. Now, everyone can learn to write programs for themselves - no previous experience is necessary. Chris Pine takes a thorough, but light-hearted approach that teaches you how to program with a minimum of fuss or bother. Starting with small, simple one-line programs to calculate your age in seconds, you'll see how to have your webpage send you email, to shuffle your music more intelligently, to rename your photos from your digital camera, and more. You'll learn the same technology used to drive modern dynamic websites and large, professional applications.

About the Author

Chris Pine first discovered Ruby in early 2001 and immediately began using it to build tools for his day job: programming computer games. After hours, he volunteered with gifted children teaching them advanced mathematics. With Ruby, he began teaching his students programming as well. Chris finds writing about himself in the third person uncomfortably like listening to his own voice being played back to him. He enjoys board games and juggling, and is currently living with his darling wife and two darling children in Portland, Oregon.
