What’s Ruby Metaprogramming?
Paolo Perrotta has this to say:
As a Ruby programmer, you already know how much fun it is. Now see how to unleash its power, digging under the surface and exploring the language’s most advanced features: a collection of techniques and tricks known as metaprogramming. Once the domain of expert Rubyists, metaprogramming is now accessible to programmers of all levels – from beginner to expert.
Paolo goes on to say the following in a recent interview:
I realized that metaprogramming sits at the very heart of the language, and when you understand metaprogramming, that’s the moment you start “thinking in Ruby”.
Who’s It For?
