16. Developing Games With Ruby by Tomas Varaneckas
At day you have to wrangle with legacy code, fix bugs, struggle with APIs, deploy services and integrate things.
Yet you wish you could create worlds, animate dragons, break laws of physics and design artificial intelligence.
You can.
17. Just Enough Ruby to Get By by Jason Kim
This book aims to introduce important topics in Ruby as quickly as possible. It also seeks to ramp up problem solving skills to tackle real world problems.
The book is targeted at newbies without any programming knowledge, and experienced programmers who are familiar with other languages such as C, C++, and Java.
18. Ruby Web Dev: The Other Way by Yevhen Kuzminov
This guide is an attempt to describe the way to build the web app with a real understanding of each component, with knowledge that are relevant in any web language and framework.
To become a better web developer and demand for a better ecosystem!
This guide contains sections dedicated to very important aspects of web development, explanation (if needed), and lists of tutorial links.
19. RubyFu by King Sabri
This book is a great collection of ideas, tricks, and skills that could be useful for Hackers. It’s a unique extraction reference, summarizes a lot of research and experience in order to achieve your w00t in the shortest and smartest way.
Rubyfu is where you’ll find plug-n-hack code. Rubyfu is a book to use not only to read, it’s where Ruby goes evil.
20. RubyKin by Doug Wright
This book is for any kids that want to learn how to code.
With ten simple chapters, you will learn the basics inherent in all fundamental programming languages: variables, strings, numbers, methods, collections and more.
These are the basic building blocks used in modern programming languages today. By the end of this book, you will have learned what all these terms mean and how they are used to design a computer program.
