From: "Ara.T.Howard" Date: 2004-02-10T06:44:58+09:00 Subject: ruby advocacy one of the groups in our lab is looking into languages for a new project. they are considering python, ruby, perl, and a few others. aside from the obvious ones (pickaxe, ruby way, www.ruby-lang.org, etc) are there any convincing resources people would reccomend as useful for convincing project manager types that ruby is _the_ way to go? i've see quite a few slides and presentations over the years - but wonder which are most up to date and relevant, esp. ones people have personally found useful. thanks for any info. -a -- ATTN: please update your address books with address below! =============================================================================== | EMAIL :: Ara [dot] T [dot] Howard [at] noaa [dot] gov | PHONE :: 303.497.6469 | ADDRESS :: E/GC2 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305-3328 | STP :: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/ | NGDC :: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/ | NESDIS :: http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/ | NOAA :: http://www.noaa.gov/ | US DOC :: http://www.commerce.gov/ | | The difference between art and science is that science is what we | understand well enough to explain to a computer. | Art is everything else. | -- Donald Knuth, "Discover" | | /bin/sh -c 'for l in ruby perl;do $l -e "print \"\x3a\x2d\x29\x0a\"";done' ===============================================================================
