Book Description

This book is an introduction to MacRuby. MacRuby is Apple's implementation of the Ruby programming Language. More precisely, it is a Ruby implementation that uses the well known and proven Objective-C runtime giving you direct native access to all the OS X libraries. The end result is a first-class, compilable scripting language designed to develop applications for the OS X platform.

If you're interested in developing applications for Apple's Mac OS X platform, but prefer to use a sleek, developer-friendly language, MacRuby is ideal. This in-depth guide shows you how this Apple implementation of the Ruby language provides access to all of the features available to Objective-C programmers. You'll get clear, detailed explanations of MacRuby, including quick programming techniques such as prototyping classes.

Ideal for programmers of all experience levels, MacRuby: The Definitive Guide is packed with code samples. If you're a programmer familiar with Ruby, you can tap your skills to take advantage of Interface Builder, the Cocoa libraries, Objective-C runtime, and more. If you already develop with Cocoa, you'll discover how MacRuby will improve your productivity.

  • MacRuby basics, including classes and methods
  • Advanced features, such as selectors, blocks, and concurrency
