Cheers, Hal Fulton ----------------- When ==== The next APM meeting will be Wednesday April 17th, 2002, 6:30pm at Tek Systems. Tek Systems is catering dinner. What ==== "Ruby for Perl Programmers" by Hal Fulton This is an informal introduction to the language, starting by showing a little of how it is and isn't like Perl. Some of Ruby's best features are also showcased such as its object model, dynamic features, exception mechanism, mixins, iterators, closures, and threads.
