Ruby - относительно новый объектно-ориентированный язык, разработанный Юкихиро Мацумото в 1995 году и позаимствовавший некоторые особенности у языков LISP, Smalltalk, Perl, CLU и других. Язык активно развивается и применяется в самых разных областях: от системного администрирования до разработки сложных динамических сайтов. Книга является полноценным руководством по Ruby - ее можно использовать и как учебник, и как справочник, и как сборник ответов на вопросы типа "как сделать то или иное в Ruby". В ней приведено свыше 400 примеров, разбитых по различным аспектам программирования, и к которым автор дает обстоятельные комментарии.

This unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation providing a joined up approach to building design. By linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of buildings. Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has been achieved.

Rails - это открытый фреймворк, который не просто позволяет создавать сложные и многофункциональные веб-приложения, но и делает их невероятно легкими. Полный код приложения, написанного на Rails, вполне может оказаться меньше, чем простой конфигурационный файл того же приложения, написанного с использованием другого фреймворка. Эта книга о веб-разработке в среде Rails. Вы увидите, насколько просто установить Rails при помощи веб-сервера Apache, lighttpd или же собственного встроенного веб-сервера Rails, научитесь создавать приложения, которые будут работать с вашей любимой базой данных (будь то MySQL, Oracle или Postgres). Rails service возьмет на себя отправку почтовых сообщений, реализацию веб-сервисов, а также создание динамических страниц со встроенной поддержкой AJAX. Довольно много места в этой книге отведено для описания тестирования, запуска и масштабирования вашего веб-приложения.
Издание будет интересно всем желающим создавать динамические Web 2.0 приложения с использованием Rails.

Although analysts expect the majority of enterprises to tread slowly into migration, there certainly will be early adopters, as there are with any system or device.

The first official German stormtroop unit was authorized on 2 March 1915 when the Supreme Command of the field army ordered the VIII Corps to form a detachment for the testing of experimental weapons and the development of approximate tactics that could break the deadlock on the Western Front. By the summer of 1915, stormtroop units were springing up throughout the German armies in the west, and by the end of 1916 official stormtroop battalions were established throughout the western armies, providing a deadly new threat for the Allies. This book examines the uniform, equipment and tactics of Germany's feared elites.
